Taking Care of My Body (3 Years+)

Bottle Shakers (All ages)

Using recycled plastic water bottles and nature items, invite your child to create a bottle shaker. After your child finishes adding items, seal the water bottle with heavy tape. Create multiple bottles and encourage your child to observe and note the differences in sounds each bottle makes. Are some sounds high? Low? Soft? Loud? Why do you think the sounds are different?  

Paper Product Recycling (3 years+)

Use items such as scraps of green construction paper, wrapping paper, and any discarded clean paper. Discuss the importance of protecting the Earth by recycling and reusing materials to make new things instead of throwing them in the trash can. Your child may cut paper into various shapes and glue them on a full sheet of construction paper to create a beautiful piece of artwork with recyclables. Give the masterpiece a title.

Sight, Smell, Feel (All ages)

For younger children, you can tell a story about what they see in each room. 

Caring for Our Earth (3 years+)

Write a story together with your child about ways you care for the Earth such as recycling, reusing, or conserving (using only the resources you need).

Talk about why it is important to protect our Earth and conserve natural resources.

Nature's Alphabet (3 years+)

When outdoors, help your child find “letters” in nature. For example, bent twigs, branches, or leaves often form shapes resembling letters (or several twigs could be arranged into letter shapes). Or you may also name some of the natural items you find outdoors and emphasize the beginning letter. Or play “I Spy”.

Where Is It? (All ages)

Fill a box with paper leaf cutouts or recycled paper scraps. Mix in small toys so they are hidden in the leaves. Encourage your child to explore the leaves and find the small toys. While interacting with your child, ask guiding questions such as: Before looking at the toy, can you guess what it is? What clues helped you determine what it is? 

Peek-a-Boo (All ages)
