5 More Easy Ways to Explore Outdoors

5. Got dirt? Let little kids dig with plastic shovels and pails.

4. Adopt a tree. Take pictures of your favorite tree in different seasons and around different family events. How does it change?

3. Go harvesting. Take kids to pick apples, blueberries or corn.

2. Camp in the backyard.
And our favorite Earth Day tip for reconnecting kids and nature:

1. Keep a “wonder bowl.” Kids fill their pockets with acorns, rocks and leaves. Empty those pockets into a bowl, so kids can linger over their treasures.
