WINTER FUN
Get Outside
It is a cold late winter day. A delicate layer of frost edges the corner of each window and snow covers the landscape. Birds are huddled under eaves and in bushes, fluffing their feathers, reminding you that winter is here for a while yet. Meanwhile, the kids are busy playing on screens, and you are thinking, "I’ve got to figure out some way to get them outside!"

Winter can be a magical time to explore the natural world.  After the winter solstice, the sun climbs higher and the days are longer. Your opportunity for fun is just out your front door. So, grab your hat, mitts, warm boots and winter jacket, and don’t forget the kids!
