Instructions
1
Take the kids outside to observe nature on its own terms. The salamanders and frogs that inhabit the shores of lakes and ponds and the ants and slugs that live under your garden rocks are almost always a sure thing. If you live in a city where it’s difficult to connect with nature, check out a few videos from the library or tune into zoo and nature webcams on the computer.
2
Pick up a few books on animals from the library to share with the kids during nightly story time. Choose books written by authors with a proven love of animals -- writers such as James Herriot, Beverly Cleary and E.B. White. For younger kids, read titles such as "Harry the Dirty Dog" by Gene Zion, "Stellaluna" by Janell Cannon and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle.
