I have a cool cloud spotter craft and bark rubbing free printable craft.
When doing nature studies, two of our favorite ground activities are cloud spotting and observing tree bark.
Besides cloud drifting by can be a fun activity for children of any age. Cloud watching makes us pause to enjoy the quite details of nature.

And no two clouds are ever the same. So, this fun cloud spotter craft is a great way to take science outdoors.
Then, learning about tree bark is like not only appreciating textures but appreciating the secret bark holds about the tree.
And some bark feels like paper smooth and other bark is bumpy and cracked.
It is a fun way to take notice of trees.
