5 Ways To Celebrate National Wildlife Week with Your Kids

This week is National Wildlife Week which is wonderful week to get outside with your children and teach them to appreciate nature. A child is never too small to be in wonder and awe of the wonderful world around her.

1. Participate in the NWF Wildlife Watch Map
2. Join others celebrating National Wildlife Week by tweeting your sightings on #wildlifeweek on Twitter
3. Enter the National Wildlife Photo Challenge. Encourage your kids to take photos too. You will learn a lot about how your child sees the world when you look at his photos.
4. Go for a hike with your kids and point out all nature that you see: birds, fish, trees, flowers, bugs, etc.
5. Have a meal dedicated to talking about nature and ways you as a family can respect nature and spend more time outdoors.
