une promenade dans les bois part 1

I should actually say a run through the woods. We ventured out on a nature walk/scavenger hunt on Tuesday morning. 

Our excursion was inspired by this book, a gift from a dear friend in France. Merci Marie :)

We've also been using/reading the Usborne book of the Seasons (will share resources later on), and we wanted to do a fun activity that inspired nature and art. From the book (above), we had a list of things that we wanted to find. The kids were so excited to get out and were running so fast, I thought they'd fall down.

It was a nice day, so after we gathered our stuff, we hung around walked and walked some more.

Here's what we found: (part 2 coming up)

We gathered some pretty interesting stuff dear parents- the kids were super excited. The next step was bringing it all to the table for a quick art session (this happened on Thursday afternoon). Each child picked the nature item that he wanted to draw. He then choose a crayon or crayons to draw and we took it from there. We actually found 3 mushrooms, which was great because 2 of our friends wanted to draw mushrooms :)
