On a large poster board, display five or six common items found in your outdoor area, such as a leaf, rock, stick, grass or acorn. Give each child a basket. Take the children outside and ask them to look for items that match the items on the poster board. Once the children have found several items, gather around to talk about them. Compare the items found to the ones on the board. How are they the same? How are they different?
