Connecting Kids to Nature-Let’s Go Outside

Helping to address the disconnection between children and the natural world in my own small way.

I am really excited to launch my new “Let’s Go Outside” webisodes – my small way of helping address the disconnection between children and the natural world.

When children and nature mix, something Magical happens, I want to share some of that Magic with you and your children…with the help from the Little Humbugs – my Nature Warriors.

The Little Humbugs can inspire children to Go Outside….

My introduction webisode features – Fun in the snow Here’s a few pics from the video:

The forest looks so pretty in the snow thought the Butterfly Girls.

Let’s Go Outside and make…

…Snow Angels

I want to make Snow Angels too….

Let’s Go Outside and build a Snowman

I want to make a snowman too….

Let your children be inspired to Go Outside with the Little Humbugs…

NO SNOW! No worries- you can visit the beach and make sand angels or collect some rocks and make a rock man.

Once you’ve made your snowman or rock man send us a photo of your outdoor art and we’ll post it on the Little Humbugs Art Gallery!

By taking the picture and sending it into the art gallery your child get’s to share their wonderful outdoor creations with other children.

Worksheets available to accompany the series, by request: info@littlehumbugs.com

Over the course of the year the series will feature :

• Nature based arts and crafts (part of the fun is going outside to hunt for the nature items)
• Visits to farms, bee keepers, orchards, parks and beaches
• Interviews with park and forest rangers, conversationalists, butterfly experts and many more…
• Enchanting Little Humbugs stories
• Discovering wildlife
• Trails, walks, gardening, birding, rock hunting, star gazing, moon watching, cycling, barbecuing…….

Discovering some of British Columbia’s Wildlife

British Columbia is the most biologically diverse province in Canada. British Columbia is home to 143 mammal species, 454 birds, 20 amphibians, 19 reptiles and 450 species of fish. Some of these species are not found anywhere else in Canada.

I’m really excited about sharing some of these amazing species with you….

…But more importantly, I want YOU to share your wildlife and nature stories with the Little Humbugs and me!!

I love all butterflies but the Monarch best of all, we have them in our garden a lot-love Grace from Australia (age 6)
