Arboretum Field Trip



A few weeks ago (because I am late in posting this...), the MWF spent the preschool day at the Arboretum. There is something about nature that is calming, peaceful and of course, beautiful! 

We loaded up the preschool wagon with paper, nature crayons, water, cups, snack bags with trail mix, etc. and walked down College Drive to the Arboretum. I intended to take pictures of us walking there, but that didn't happen, so you'll have to imagine it!
After we arrived, we sat and used our 5 senses to take in nature. We then drew pictures of what we saw in nature, walked around and explored, ate a snack, played some running and parachute games, and lastly, we collected various nature items and stuck them on our fancy duck tape bracelets to bring home. Great, great day at the Arboretum. 
Reading the book, "Colors of Nature"
Using our 5 senses

What do you see?
Draw and color what you see.....





The texture of the sidewalk added a neat touch to the nature pictures.

~Thank you God, for your magnificent creation!~
