Beltane as a familyKids love to be outside, so why not go on a nature hike to see what new things are growing in your local park or woods? Offer each child a small bag to bring home treasures they might find–interesting leaves, cool rocks and sticks, or other goodies. Take advantage of this to talk about the way the seasons change, and point out sights that show how life is returning to the earth once more. Natural play with natural materials.
