We had a fun morning at Wildwood despite the wet weather. This was supposed to be our 'Winter' visit to the forest, but it actually looked and felt more like early spring. Special thanks to all the adults who joined us to help supervise this excursion. Here are some things we did that morning:
*We read a story by the fire.
*We went on a hike through the forest...watching out for the slippery, wet parts of the path. A deer trail kept us in a single file.
*While hiking, we noticed things that Maranda put rope loops around....we saw a lot of scat!
*We fed the birds....who were likely grateful because finding food at this time of year can be difficult.
*We made shelters for animals using natural materials and thought about how challenging this must be for animals who stay and adapt in the winter.
*We played a camouflage game which also got us thinking about how smaller animals have to hide to stay alive.
Our next visit to the forest is in May. We can't wait to see what the forest looks like then!
