Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Nature Collection Box

Related Episode: A Small Victory

Subjects/Skills: Science; Sense of Self

Materials Needed:
Two bags or boxes in which to hold a nature collection

Directions:
Invite your child on a nature walk. You should each take along a bag or box in which you can place things you find.

Let your child know that you are only going to collect things that are up high. He should only collect things that are low to the ground.

When you've finished your walk, take the items out of your bags and compare your collections.

Point out the reasons why it's good to be small on a nature walk, "Because you're small you were able to find all the things that are near to the ground!" Then, talk about why it's good to be tall on a nature walk, "I was able to find things that were up high!"
