Take your children on a nature hunt with our FREE spotting sheet. Very often, when you take young children out to look at nature they cannot see anything. Telling them to ‘look’ is not enough as they do not know what to look for. This handy spotting sheet will help. By asking the children to see how many of the things on the sheet they can find, you are focusing their attention. This will make the walk of far more value to the child, as having personally found an item will mean that s/he feels much more related to it and be ready to learn more about it.
