Happy first day of winter - 35 ways to enjoy the nature of winter

The green country for me, when you have children especially, is a lot about learning nature appreciate. In fact - children who do not love nature do not have wonderful natural experiences and do not care enough about nature to preserve it.

In winter it is hard time to get outside. You've got to build, holidays are time-consuming, and people have a general feeling that they want to stay in cool places. However, you have some fun and sophisticated thoughts in your schedule. They'll have to pay off in the long run with the devoted children who want to do all they can to stay out and hopefully keep the nature clean and healthy.

Snowy Fun :

. Make snow angels or an ice fort.

. Have a snowball fight.

. If it's really cool and ice, grab some organic, natural maple syrup and pour some of the snow in beautifully shapes, it'l harden into the candy.

. If you use slade. If you do not have a sled, why not get a winter slide?

. You can not only slide along an internal tube.

. Play tic-tac-toe in the snow. Markers (pine cones, sticks, etc.)

. Make a cardboard bulls eye, hang from a tree, make snowballs pile and let the kids throw as mad.

Grow some fun :

. Plant a winter garden.

. Plant some trees!

. Choose some winter hardy flowers or shrubs for the garden.

. Plant pansies for winter color. Check in your local nursery to see what's in stock.

Active fun :

. Wait for the night, hold a cart for the bundle, very small and see all the holiday lights in the neighborhood.

. Plan a winter scavenger hunt - If you earn ice tons, make colored snowballs or ice-colored solids with food colors and bury them around the yard so that kids can find them.

. You are not cold outside when you send your blood. Hold a big bucket of chalks and play with hatchcats, rotate the
rope, or try hula hooping in the winter coats - not easy, but fun to try.

. Go on a pleasant winter hike. Winter is good because nature is amazing - you've got frozen streams, popping bright
berries, and icicles. Plus you have no extra advantage of there hiking there; It is very calm and calm. State parks with
waterfalls are cool at this time of year. Here in Oregon we are going to the Silver Creek Falls, but you can find a nearby park.

. Try snowshoeing.

. Get some skateboards, helmets and look for the covered school area. Go skateboarding. You pay the barers because do not take skateboards in the wet. This is why you see for a cover school area - skating in ice ended up for obvious
reasons. Children are not in school for winter break and your board is protected from moisture.

. Hit the beach. Winter Seas The sea looks dark, jungle, and stunning and sounds silly cool. Sand is wet with added benefit, packaged, and does not blink in your eyes.

. Responsible snowboard. Get a steady harvest timber snowboard from venture iceboards. You can look for reuse in the
sports equipment store used locally.

. Ice skating in the local pond is cool and safe enough.

. A family time cartridge then climb into the woods to cover.

. Go to the night for some winter frustrators.

. Get the whole family participating in at least one of the active winter activities like snowboarding or skiing. If the gear is very expensive, make sure your family is hiking or running daily.

Crafty nature fun :

. Make a beautiful snow wreath to greet holiday visitors!

. A full ice wreath appears to be very difficult, but the sweet but still sweet winter sun makes the catcher.

. If you have an outdoor playhouse for kids, dress it up to the gingerbread style. If you use cut foam, it should stand for winter moisture. For example, Hansel and Gretel rarely hail on the pedal to make a distinct playhouse look like a fantasy candy house, candies, and more.

. Collect pine cones for a silver winter wreath.

. Make beautiful colored snow figurines or magnificent rainbow color ice castle!

. Learn how to care for winter greens that you've cut for art or wreaths - ie pine, evergreens, holi, etc.

. Collect green to make a natural vacation kissing ball (scroll down all the way after clicking the link) - but not different from the tradition of mistletoe.

Wildlife fun :

. String cranberries, popcorns and cereals are in the fishing line for a lovely necklace wrapping around the open trees, attracting and feeding bird friends, adding Celebrity Cheer's pad to the tree.

. See what foods are best for winter bird food and then do some effort.

. Establish a pea of ​​outdoor birds - There is a problem finding birds often in winter but frozen water sources. Often look for ice breaks or a hot bird on your sides.

. Get out for hike with binoculars and you may notice any wintering animals.

. Go animal tracking. Look for a friendly friendly guide to tracking.

@Note - Find out if some wildlife food is right in winter, feeding or targeting a wild way of wildlife.
