Outdoors Indoors
When the weather is just too awful to go outdoors, bring the outdoors indoors to stay connected to nature.
Raindrop Races
This activity is great for those very wet days.
Show children how the raindrops chase each other down the windows. Children can pretend to be raindrops and either roll, run or crawl from one end to the other end of the space. Eventually they can be teamed up and race against each other.
Action Insects
Acting out different insects will help children to learn about them while having the opportunity to move in different ways.

Mini Beasts
Becoming Butterflies
There is so much to learn about butterflies by going butterfly spotting, pretending to be butterflies from egg to adult butterfly, to colouring in their beautiful wings.
I Can See
While you are outdoors, help children enjoy the wonders of nature through the challenge of I can See.
Ask questions, such as: How many trees can you see? What colour is the dog? What do squirrels eat? What can fly? What can you find in a tree? What can climb? etc.
