1. Start by taking them outside and showing them different plants, animals, and insects that live in your backyard or local park.
2. Make a scavenger hunt with clues around the house or neighborhood that points out interesting facts about the natural world.
3. Have them draw pictures of what they see in nature and talk about it as you look at their artwork.
4. Read books together about different species of animals and plants found in nature.
5. Plant a garden together and let them help care for it. They can learn how plants grow and interact with each other.
6. Take a nature walk together and have them observe the changes in the environment as they go.
7. Visit an aquarium or zoo and discuss the differences between aquatic and land-based species.
8. Ask them questions about nature and encourage them to think critically about why certain things happen.
