Taking a nature walk with your little ones is especially lovely when the weather is fair and spring is in the air, but it’s also a wonderful opportunity to help your preschooler develop early math skills like sorting, identifying patterns, counting and measurement! All you need to do is gather natural materials together to make a regal nature crown. Don’t worry if all the nature you can find is a few twigs and dry leaves in your local park — anything can go on your crowns! Just try to not snip any flowers or leaves; it’s better to wait until they fall to the ground by themselves.
