The season is tilting away from winter, but there's plenty of "winter" stuff to see outside. So head out on a scavenger hunt - but instead of collecting things, you'll be observing them, taking photos or drawing them, looking closer.... getting to know the winter-ish plants and animals around you.
Things to take on your hike:
a hand lens
a sketchbook and pencils
camera
Scavenger hunt list of things to look for and observe:
- icicle or frozen puddle
- cluster of needles
- a pine cone
- winter weeds
- animal tracks (what are they and where do they lead?)
- clouds
- birds flying
- berries
- a nest (don't touch)
- dead leaves clinging to a tree
- snowfleas at the base of trees
- a cocoon on a twig or side of house, or beneath leaves
