10 fun things to do on a nature walk with kids

1. Treasure Hunt

Take a few small things from home, hide them and voila, you have a treasure hunt! (Top tip remember to count your treasures before you hide them so you know how many to find!!)

2. Nature Art

Get creative using any natural bits and bobs you find outdoors, take some paper and crayons to make beautiful bark rubbings, or find a comfy spot where they can settle down and draw their surroundings.

 3. Leave it to fate...

4. Go Bird Spotting

Spot some common UK birds when you're out and about using this handy list from the Wildlife Trust. (Top tip take along some binoculars if you have them!) 

For some at home bird spotting fun this weekend (29-31 January) join the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch. Find out more here. 

5. Ultimate hide & seek

Create a simple map with some easy to recognise landmarks along the route to your destination and check them off as you go!

7. Go on a nature scavenger hunt

Download our very own Little Green Radicals Scavenger Hunt here, look for something in every colour or play nature bingo. (Top tip take a magnifying glass to examine anything they find.)

8. Be a Little Green Explorer

Set your little ones some challenges to earn them Explorer points (or badges if you have them). You can download 5 suggested challenges here.  

9. Keep it simple...

Play I Spy as you walk along or find a fantastic tree to climb! 

10. And finally... find the perfect picnic spot

Nothing like the promise of a delicious snack to keep them going (or for a little energy boost along the way). Find cosy, adventure proof outfits to keep your little explorers comfy and warm this autumn. Shop our collection.
