OUTDOORS
A CHILD'S FIRST introduction to--and
most frequent experience with--nature will
probably be in your own backyard and on short
walks in your neighborhood.
Provide a small, sunny plot--or even just a large
pot--for your child to plant his own vegetable
garden. The lessons learned and pride earned in
tending something from seed to table are
immeasurable. If you aren't a gardener yourself,
there are many children's nature activity books
that can take you both step-by-step through the
process.
Include your child in the maintenance of the
family garden by asking him to help you weed,
rake and water it. Provide child-size rakes and
trowels that really work--many fine toy stores
and catalogs carry these in the spring and
summer months.
Go on frequent walks with your child, and let
him set the pace as often as possible.
Preschoolers are apt to spend much of their
time squatting down and looking at an ant hill or
collecting leaves or stones; this is what they are
most interested in at this stage, and fostering
such observation skills now will pay off later. If
you can, set aside a place of prominence in the
home or in the child's room for items gathered
on these nature walks.
