Nature

Green living to me, when you have kids especially, is a lot about learning to appreciate nature. Fact – kids who don’t love nature, who don’t have awesome nature experiences won’t care enough about nature to preserve it. In the winter it’s hard to make time to get outside. You’ve got to bundle up, fit in time around holiday events, and people have a general sense of wanting to stay indoors where it’s cozy. Still, you can incorporate some fun and nature minded family outings into your schedule. It’ll pay off in the long run with kids who adore being outside and who hopefully want to do all they can to keep nature clean and healthy.

SNOWY FUN

• Make snow angels or a snow fort.
• Have a snowball fight.
• If it’s really cold and snowy, grab some organic, natural maple syrup and pour some on the snow in pretty shapes, it’ll harden into candy.
• If you’ve got a sled use it. If you don’t have a sled, why not get a winter sled?
• Sleds aren’t the only thing you can slide with try an inner tube as well.
• Play tic-tac-toe in the snow. Use found nature objects as markers (pine cones, sticks, etc.)
• Make a cardboard bulls-eye, hang it from a tree, make a pile of snowballs and let the kids throw like mad.
