This is a great activity to do on colder days or even not so cold days! Hours of different ways to experiment with making these cool winter ice bubbles. Check it out and let us know if you've come up with other ice bubble ideas!

This video was further experimentation with ice bubbles. I think the experimenting could go on and on and on.... Great fun!

Who doesn't love doing mazes! One of the winter challenges we posted to our 'littles' was to make an outdoor snow maze! Some of them loved this idea and ultimately, in the creative way of children, used them as snow houses afterwards. What a great idea! Enjoy!

Have an A-MAZE-ing time doing these mazes....inside and out.

If you are discussing shapes and symmetry with your 'littles' why not try some art inside, that can than be taken outside and replicated? The following 3 posts are all related to 'taking symmetry outside in nature'. What better way to get out and enjoy the day!

As we approach a most unusual start up to our school year, lets consider this valuable opportunity to weave outdoor education into our daily times together. Such an important time for Outdoor Education!
