1. Take your child on a nature walk. See how many different colors
you can find. Collect leaves that have fallen from the trees. When you get
home glue them onto construction paper to make a collage. PICTUREsmart,
NATUREsmart

2. Begin by filling a container with a little water. Take your child outside, give
him/her a paintbrush and show them how to dip the brush into the bucket and
“paint” on the ground (or a wall, or a friend). The water will make a design until
it disappears – that’s part of the fun! This fosters PICTUREsmart, SELFsmart,
BODYsmart.

This is a great chance to show younger children to draw
shapes and older children how to draw letters and numbers.
