Playdough Nature Walk

1. Take small groups on a nature walk and give each child a lump of playdough. Invite children to use their playdough to take imprints of leaves, rocks, bark on trees and other natural materials. Keep in mind that the playdough will probably be ruined after this activity.
2. Upon returning to the classroom begin a discussion about the different things that children did and the sequence of events during the nature walk. 
3. Encourage children to use inventive spelling and drawings to dictate the sequence of events surrounding the nature walk.
