outside

December 11

Prompt: December 11

When I’m at home, I live outdoors

And I find while I’m here, I miss it.

Don’t get me wrong, you I adore,

But that sadness—I can’t just dismiss it.

Let’s find a time to get outside,

Where the air is fresh and the sky is wide.

Materials

 None, really, but of course it depends on where you plan to go! Outdoor clothes, possibly a nature journal, and transportation, depending on your destination.

Activity

Spend some time in nature with your child and your frog. Be sure to ask your kiddo questions as you go. What do they notice about the world around them? What do they like about this adventure? We love to get outside even if the weather is terrible, but when we go for a rainy hike, we’re always sure to bring a thermos of cocoa.
