Nature search...

For some crazy reason I decided to propose the idea of a nature color hunt to Scarlett on the hottest day of last week.  By 9 o'clock in the morning, the sun was too hot to even enjoy 5 minutes searching for color.  So we did our best, and threw the color filled egg cartoon aside for a cloudier day.

Regardless, we really love this idea.  We had a good time dashing from one shaded patch of cement to another, searching for any color we could find in the shadows.

What you need:
empty egg carton
crayons/markers

Color each egg spot with a different color, walk around your neighborhood or house and fill your carton with rocks, petals and leaves.  Enjoy the outdoors with your littles.
