A Book To Enjoy:
“Up in the Garden, Down in The Dirt” by Kate Messner and “The Big Book of Bugs” by Yuval Zommer
available at the Shop at Bok

Family Activity:
Life often feels like a race that requires us to do many things at the same time.  This causes our awareness to get easily pulled in many different directions. Nature provides us with reminders of how fun and rewarding looking closely at just one thing and being in the moment truly is.

Go on a walk and have each family member locate something for everyone to slow down and look at closely. You could use magnifying glasses, insect collection containers or whatever you prefer.

Family Discussion:
Look for details you haven’t noticed before.  As you look closer, you will be able to focus on the things we all often overlook. As you slow down and watch, ask yourself; does it move faster or slower than you remember, does it have unique body parts, does its color help protect it, and how does it help our environment?
