Exploring Nature with Kids
Collection by Minimal Is Chic • Last updated 10 weeks ago
Exploring nature is such a great way to get kids interested in science and the world around them. It's free, it's healthy, and you can do it any season. Plus, exploring nature and the great outdoors expands kids' fantastic elastic brain that is always hungry for knowledge. The more you feed the brain, and all the senses, the more kids want to learn. Here I'm pinning activities, books and free printables to make exploring and learning that much more fun.

The History of Halloween for Kids

This little book about the history of Halloween answers just that type of questions for kids. It explains the origins of the holiday, from the Celtic Samhain festival, in simple terms. It also includes why we wear costumes, carve pumpkins, and get candy on Halloween. It's a great book to read with little ones or to a class at school. #halloweenbooks…
