How often are we outside and in a rush? Instead, take a deep breath and just enjoy. The point of Nature Bingo! is to slow down and take the time to take in your surroundings. But along the way, we walk through prairie as well as forest. When we go on our nature walks, we love walking down to our local Rock Beach and do some exploring there. You can simply go in your backyard if you have young ones and see how many of the items you can find. You don’t have to drive to a nature preserve. Nature Bingo! doesn’t have to be a formal affair. Grab your Nature Bingo Printable down below! Taking your kids on even a walk around the block can be a fun nature hunt.
