Eco-Friendly Water Filtration Activity
 |
Kids were given the scenario in the book Hatchet and to imagine themselves stranded in nature without drinking water. They had to use natural elements to create a filter using a water bottle, a net or piece of cloth, and a rubber band. This was a class room project where the experiment can be recreated 3 times to see which materials worked the best. Kids loved this challenge and soon were competing to see who had the clearest water at the end of class. |
Enchanted Houses for Fairies and Leprechauns
 |
Another great (free) outdoor activity is to create Elf houses out of pine cones, twigs, and other ground floor materials that can be found in nature. These natural items you can easily find around you in your backyard or in a park. Nestle the elf houses amidst the tree roots, then leave them for other walkers to find and admire. If you wish, you can leave out little treats like berries and nuts for the fairies and leprechauns as treats. Check back in a few days to see if you see any signs of activity. |
Scavenger Hunt and Nature Hike
 |
This Scavenger Hunt and Nature Hike list is perfect for a Camping Birthday Party, Outdoor Party, Backyard Party, or just a fun nature hike with the kids. A scavenger hunt makes the hike more exciting and interactive, and with a list of things to search for, kids pay attention to their surroundings more. After all, who doesn’t want to score the highest points for some extra smores? |
