Parents frequently hear that the best way to make learning fun for children is to give them open-ended activities that start as simple ideas and develop according to the child's interest and ability. The Kids' Nature Almanac is a month-by-month guide that can help parents and young children understand nature and explore science. This delightfully creative book includes 68 quick and easy outdoor activities that cover each of the seasons. Some of the projects may take ten minutes; others can be carried on for weeks.
Make a moon calendar for the year. Simulate lightning with wintergreen Life Savers. Follow animal footprints in the snow and identify them. Plan a child's garden for the spring. Learn about constellations. Explore how the wind lifts a kite, and then make your own wind vanes. Create rainbows in the grass with a garden hose. Build a woodland terrarium. Encourage bluebirds to visit your yard.
The Kids' Nature Almanac is wonderful sourcebook of ideas to encourage learning and inquisitiveness, and to create special family traditions as you help create an awareness of the world around you.

Simple Lovely: Four is a Magic Number...
Actually, ours is Maine. We discovered a great and reasonable place to stay - apartments, since we need a couple bedrooms with the kids. It's in a picturesque little town on the coast. Gorgeous beaches, which is the main draw, but tons to do if the weather isn't great either. Zoo, indoor pool, minor league baseball, restaurants, shopping... Maybe one day the boys will be old enough that I can stop into an antique shop or two without fear of breaking things. Anyway, it's wonderful. Very low-key, an easy drive away, good availability so we can usually book it without a lot of notice. We come home feeling refreshed. All great stuff. Maine is heaven.
