Our Autumn Scavenger Hunt
(adapted a bit from the original list)
* flowers still in bloom - Do you know what they are? If not, look them up later.
* an insect - can you identify it?
* an insect home
* an insect home
As soon as I mentioned that they needed to find an insect
they quickly knew where they wanted to go... The red ant hills.
* a fruit (berries, for example) - Can you identify?
The boys discovered this abandoned bird nest
:::
* something living under leaves or a log
* signs of animal activity or presence
* an animal home
(There is so much more that could be added to the list.)

The joy of walks... being able to gallop like a horse. :)

That the child should be taken daily, if possible, to scenes—moor or meadow, park, common, or shore—where he may find new things to examine, and so add to his store of real knowledge. That the child’s observation should be directed to flower or boulder, bird or tree; that, in fact, he should be employed in gathering the common information which is the basis of scientific knowledge. - Charlotte Mason
What a great idea! Thank you for sharing...
