Nature Notebook

Nature Notebooks.  We have many.  Filled with inspiring photos, sketches, project ideas, observations & dreams that we never want to forget.

Today at the park, Cole wished we had a board game to play, such as butterfly bingo.  We didn't have many materials but we improvised and had a great time!

Materials::
1 sheet of paper
Writing utensil
16 or so small natural objects
a large mound of rocks {for bingo markers}
bag or bucket

How to play::
Gather up your supplies and put them in a bag or bucket.

Tear your paper into fourths and make a 4x4 grid {or whatever size you'd like}  and write the name of an item in each square {non readers can draw pictures}.  Each person will end up with a different arrangement on their board!  

Choose a "caller" and have the person reach into the bag and randomly pick out an object {we picked up garbage too!}

With a rock, each player marks off their square and the first to get 4 in a row wins!
