Using Your Five Senses Outside
Big Idea
Using Your Five Senses Outside: Look, listen, smell and touch gently, and never taste wild plants.
Story time
One morning at the forest trail past the meadow, Hazel and Finn talked about “using your five senses outside.” Fresh air and nature help kids feel calm, curious and healthy. Hazel said, “Let's try it today!” Finn smiled and said, “Let's do it together.” By the end of the day, they both felt proud of the healthy choice they made.
Try it!
Go on a 20-minute nature walk with a grown-up (cap, long sleeves and water on). Find something you can see, hear, smell and gently touch, then draw your favorite find in a nature journal.
