Earth Day Week? Yes, week, because this is a holiday to really get excited about! Today looks to be a beautiful day, so lets start the week off by getting outside! The list below is from Nature Play WA a website from the Government of Western Australia. It looks to me like people way down there - I just checked and Google told me that Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is about 11, 384 miles away from Malone - really love the outdoors and know how to make the most of it! They certainly have some great ideas of ways to enjoy nature while social distancing.
For instance, cloud watching - I love doing that! And lately the weather has been perfect for it, with big fluffy white clouds blowing across a clear blue sky. Start by picking a good spot - my back deck is the best - and then lie back and look up. Note the different shapes, colors, and sizes of the clouds. Then let your imagination go: what do the clouds look like, what do they remind you of? Make a story up in your head about what you are seeing. Think about the weather. I noticed the other day that when a cloud would cover the sun for even just a few seconds the wind would pick up - now why would that be? Always remember, of course, to wear sunglasses and to never ever look at the sun! There are so many other great ideas on this list, like camping out in your yard, star gazing, starting a nature journal or collecting flowers and plants to press! Just make sure to get permission from your parent/guardian - as always - before trying any of these ideas. Comments are closed.
