nature day forest school – tall trees

“Have you guys ever seen a tree?” was the first question I asked our class today haha

After we read some interesting facts about trees from “Why Do We Need Trees” – why we need them, how the benefit the world, the different leaf styles, etc. – we got into our activities.

For snack they had pretzels for the trees and green apples for the branches / leaves. It was fun to see all the different kinds of trees the kids created.

One of our activities was to paint wooden trees. I got two different packs on Amazon (here’s one and here’s two) and used paint from Walmart. This was a big hit.

Another activity was to build a house with Lincoln Logs because trees are used to build houses.

Our book basket was rich this week – lots of stories involving trees.

Overall, it was a great session and everyone thoroughly enjoyed class.
