Grab this free printable Winter Scavenger Hunt list -- get outside & hunt down clues to explore seasonal changes in nature!
My kids will be the first to tell you that no matter the weather, we get some outdoor time every day.

Challenge your kids to get outside this week with this free Winter Scavenger Hunt list! This is a great activity for all ages - preschoolers, big kids & adults - check off the items to learn how much happens during the cold weather!

Really, what's New Year's without some crazy hat ;)
Whether you celebrate on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, here are a few fun & easy ways to bring in 2019 together!
