Starter Activities
Things that are good ease into nature activities for fall and winter, for people with less experience...
Seeds indoors in trays for sorting or making arrangements. If you can't collect seeds (like acorns, pine cones, etc), you can use store-bought seeds...like different size/colored dried beans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc. (be mindful of allergies).
Or a good starter activity is any kind of natural object arranging...you can use shells, seeds, stones, sticks, whatever you are comfortable using and able to find.
The leaf matching game, with pressed leaves
Using leaves to cut with scissors or with hole punchers.
Using dried leaves in a large tray or sensory table as a sensory experience for students to crinkle and crush up.
Introducing different types of squash/pumpkins
Tree bark rubbings (or leaf rubbings)
