Summer is Coming So Let's Go Explore!

Summer is around the corner and it's a great time to get outdoors & explore (and learn....ssshhhhh, that'll be our secret) while having a blast!

Create a summer ABC Nature Sensory Scrapbook (Preschool - PreK Science & Math)
Materials needed:
  1. construction paper
  2. three hole punch
  3. yarn
  4. a writing utensil 
  5. glue 
Place all of the papers together and three hole punch them along one side.
Next, have your child thread the yard in and out of the holes to bind the paper book together ( a great fine motor skill!).
On the first page find an object outdoors that begins with the letter A. Glue that object to that page. On the second page find an object that starts the with the letter B and glue that object to the page, so on and so forth.
Practice writing skills by writing the letters of the alphabet on each corresponding page in both capital and lower case letters Aa, Bb, etc.
For added fun you can use your nature scrapbook to learn about texture, colors and shapes, too!  
Count how many different shapes and colors you've collected and decide how you would sort the.
Be sure not to harm insects or living plants / animals when constructing your book.  Mother Nature thanks you!
