Making Compassion a Habit

Our autumn-themed scavenger hunt is a great way to get kids outdoors and makes a wonderful Mindful Recess or Nature Break.
Nature and art make perfect companions in this sensory outdoor project. First you’ll use your keen observation skills to collect natural materials outside.

Let’s get started!
