I have a free printable park scavenger hunt and some more outdoor kindergarten activities. Also, look at my page Kindergarten Homeschool Curriculum for more ideas.
At the first sign of the sun being out longer and winter fades away, it’s time for us to get outside.
Too, all learning does not take place inside.

So I’ve created a fun park scavenger hunt guaranteed to keep the kids observing the things around them.
Too, if allowed by the park, have your child bring a small bag to collect some favorite things.
Also, I’ve created treasure maps of the park for our co-op but a scavenger hunt helps kids to exercise and burn off energy.
GREAT BOOKS FOR SCIENCE UNIT STUDY MAIN SPINES
Besides, you can create a unit study or do one at the park based on your child’s treasures.
Look at some of these books that make great science and nature spines to guide you in a science unit study.
17 Favorite Unit Study Spines
