The Children and Nature Network
As the weather turns wet and cold, the temptation in my family is to rent videos and DVD’s at the library. This year we’ve invested in really good rain and snow gear, instead. One thing I’ve learned about kids (from teaching and parenting) is that they LOVE being outside no matter the weather…it’s usually the adults who are the nay-sayers. Research and common sense tell us that nature is good for our bodies and souls. This organization can back it up…
The Children & Nature Network was created to encourage and support people and organizations working to reconnect children with nature. C&NN provides access to the latest news and research in the field and a peer-to-peer network of researchers and individuals, educators and organizations dedicated to children’s health and well-being. Check out the site…lots of good information and ideas.
What are you waiting for…hey…if your hands get really cold, here’s a tip…when you get inside from a chilly outing, heat play dough in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. The kids can then warm their hands and play while you get the cocoa cooking!
