Garden Senses
Screen-time can help families learn and connect, and taking screen-time breaks can, too.
Screen-time play and real-time play can go hand in hand. As an example, you and your child might first watch a video about nature together, and then go outside to continue the learning.
You can use this printable to help you tune into the wonder of nature in your community and document your experience. Draw what you hear, smell, feel, and taste.
