Nature Message!

Today's idea: Nature Message!
​
Do you want to leave a surprise message for a family member or a neighbor? This is the perfect way to leave a message for them to find -- using objects in nature! Think of a simple message you want to write - it could even be as simple as just your name or words like "hello," "love," or "spring." Use your creativity! Begin by clearing a large area of yard free of leaves, pine cones, etc. Choose a spot where you think your audience might easily find the message. Notice what natural objects are in this area. Are there lots of pine cones? Lots of bright red leaves? Tons of sticks? Choose a plentiful object and build the first letter of your message, nice and BIG. Move on to your next letter. Think - do you want to make the next letter out of the same object or a different object? Keep making letters until your whole message is complete. Consider taking a photo of your nature message so you can remember it! The message will eventually be blown or washed away, but you can hold onto the memory.

We would love to see a photo of your message! Send it to the Learning Outside phone or via email. 
Your Learning Outside Instructors ​
