Have you ever taken a group of children for a walk in nature with magnify glasses? 'Looking Closely Through the Forest' is a book in our Travelling Tales Library that provides inspiration to slow down and really look at the fine details in nature.
To further extend your walk, you could even add in a nature scavenger hunt based on the weather/season.

Does your group of children love cars and transporting? Have you ever thought about making a race track or road on your floor/table? All you need is some tape to create the track. You can extend this by having children add trees or houses/buildings along the track; as well as maybe naming the roads.

Does your group of children love music and expressing themselves through dance? Have you ever thought about letting them dance and paint with their feet at the same time? This activity from Lisa Murphy is perfect for those dance party days . You can lay out a big sheet of paper, or a table cloth and the children paint with their feet as they dance to the music.
