map making
with older children, map making can be a great way to get to know your area…neighborhood…backyard…or even your own house…
you maps may be small- in a book or a piece of paper- and easy to carry around…or large & collaborative…
wandering around and exploring and making note of what you see or hear is a great way to pay attention to our surroundings and also get children familiar with their place in the world.
you could even experiment with using a compass and recording the weather or even the wind’s direction.
