Spring

• Nature scavenger hunt with a creation-themed checklist (buds, new leaves, robins, worms); say a short prayer thanking God for new life before you start.

Summer

• Fall nature sensory box: leaves, pinecones, acorns; use it to teach textures and names of tree parts, thanking God for variety.
