Nature kids are the ones who are drawn to animals or plants and want to understand them or maybe go looking for them out in their natural habitat. With a little experience and guidance, they seem at home in creeks, fields, and woods, and are happy to spend lots of time there. They probably became nature kids from some combination of opportunities to be out in nature, experiences of wonder and joy when outside, and the encouragement of trusted adults.
Letters to Nature Kids
We like writing “letters” to kids, like personally saying “hi” and talking about some interesting plant, animal, or place. From time to time we will write to nature kids, include photos, and post them here. Each letter can be downloaded (it’s a pdf file) and printed or shared.
