Today is Earth Day, a day for us to focus on the environment and caring for our planet.\u00a0 Earth Day was first celebrated in 1970 making this the 50th Earth Day.\u00a0 It is celebrated in over 193 countries around the world.\u00a0 In keeping things simple and meaningful for the children I think today is the perfect day to talk about exploring, discovering and appreciating our natural world.\u00a0 Currently daily life is different for many of us including myself.\u00a0 A lot of us right now have more free time and this gift of free time has given me the opportunity to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.\u00a0 If we want our children to fight for the environment they must first gain an understanding and appreciation for it.\u00a0 I encourage all of you to go outside and explore.\u00a0 The best tip I can give you is to allow lots of time for exploration and discovery, and get down and look closely.\u00a0 So many things are there for us to discover if we just take the time to look.<\/p>\n

Below are some of the beautiful images that me and my family found while walking in our neighbourhood. \u00a0 What can you find on your nature walk?\u00a0 I encourage you to model using your five senses…. “Wow I can see the beautiful cherry blossoms”\u00a0 “The bark of this tree feels hard and rough” “I can smell the scent of the fallen pine needles” “I can hear the sounds of a bird” “It isn’t safe to taste many things outside but I can taste the fresh air”\u00a0 Notice shapes, colours, patterns, and let your child be the guide.\u00a0 I hope\u00a0 you have as much fun as we do.\u00a0 This have become a nightly routine in our family – where each night we go on an adventure to see what beautiful things we can see.<\/p>\n
