This hand sketched Spring Seasonal Nature Hunt was designed to get our tamariki outside, noticing nature and the magic of the Spring season.

Our world is warming up after being at rest over the cool winter months.
All of nature senses this: fruit trees bud and blossom, flowers bloom, bees begin their busy tasks, seeds sprout, migratory birds return from long journeys to nest and raise chicks.

Kōanga / Spring is such a magic time with all the new life and growth that occurs, and offers up such visual opportunities to connect with our seasons and environment.
The changes in the seasons are often such a sight to behold and make it easy to explain to little ears.

Kids are natural explorers and totally soak up the opportunity to head out on a nature hunt, and find these natural treasures.

My children have been doing these nature hunts for many seasons ….
… BUT what else THEY NOTICE and remember along the way is always just MAGIC.
