We all know how much children enjoy the outdoors.
Their little bodies seem to be impervious to extreme cold and heat.
A child's love of the outdoors, rivaled only by their curiosity and fascination, presents us with a wonderful opportunity.
The many wonderful things we can share with them, right in our own backyards, are practically endless.
As adults we often lead very busy lives, often failing to notice the many natural wonders found in our own backyards.
Our children's curious minds tend to notice everything, regardless of size or significance.
I remember as a child, the fascination I had with all the crawly little critters outside.
When I had children of my own, that same fascination was shared by them.
I remember the joy on my daughters face when she encountered her first butterfly.
Every season presents new and wonderful opportunities for you to share natures wonders with your children.
Spring Spring is the time for rebirth.
Flowers are emerging from their fall slumber.
The warming days herald the return of migrating birds.
Buds on the trees begin to open, their tiny new leaves emerging.
As adults we often overlook these amazing wonders.
As parents we should take the time to point them all out to our children.
Summer Summer is the time for our children to discover even more fascinating wonders of nature.
The joy and fascination they will express with each new discovery is priceless.
Summer presents a great opportunity for us to teach them about the different species of birds, the wonders of a dragonfly and countless others.
Fall Fall can be one of the most educational seasons for our children.
With many bird species beginning their migrations, caterpillars snuggling into their cocoons for the winter, the educational opportunities are endless.
Teaching your children about things like the hibernation of caterpillars, why the birds are migrating, all will be lessons they will remember for a lifetime.
Winter Winter presents an entirely new experience for children.
This is the time of visual wonders.
It truly is a winter wonderland for our children.
I'm sure we all can recall the joy of catching the first snowflakes on our tongues.
The great joy of building snowmen and snow angels.
Even our children can appreciate the beauty of flocked trees.
It is important to remember that even though the world is "old hat" to us, it's all brand new to our children.
Sharing outdoor adventures with our children, even those available right in our own backyards, creates some wonderful memories.
