The weather is about to take a turn for the worst here; true Fall-ish weather will be here before we know it!
Thankfully we have taken advantage of the few beautiful days left and all the beauty that Fall brings.
I didn't want my baby boy to miss out so I set up a nature exploration activity in our backyard.
Simple Nature Exploration for Toddlers
Supplies:
- mirror
- nature materials
- blanket
I grabbed my mirror that I used for our Ocean Sensory Play activity, a blanket, and had big brother gather some things from our yard.
We had a few flowers, pine cones, pine tree branches, maple leaves, and a few other odds and ends for this Nature Exploration on a Mirror.
I set up our blanket under a tree so that we would see the tree's reflection in the mirror. It was a gorgeous afternoon and I simply sat baby boy down and let him explore!
Because we had a few smallish items on the mirror, I kept my eyes on him-- but how could I turn away, he is just oh, so cute!
He would come forward, reach for something, and lean back.
Big brother and Little Sis came over to explore, too-- but I didn't have my camera handy.
It was a great experience for all of us! Has your baby explored the Fall beauty?
