How to make
Go for a relaxed walk together in a natural setting.
Invite your child to notice interesting things around them such as leaves, flowers, stones, or feathers.
Encourage gentle collecting of safe, fallen items that catch their attention.
Pause often to look closely, using hands or a magnifying glass if available.
Talk freely about what you both notice, allowing the child to lead the exploration.
Celebrate each discovery without rushing to complete a list.
