Every year I like to take my class for a nature walk. I usually do this in the fall when the leaves are changing colour, or in the spring when plants and animals seem to be waking up from a long winter's nap. The nature walk shows the kids that it isn't only at church that we can praise and appreciate God, but we can appreciate God anywhere. And what better place to start than in the beautiful outdoors that her created!
A great book that I found and read with my class before our walk this year, if The Berenstain Bears All Things Bright and Beautiful, by Stan and Jan Berenstain.
It is a lovely little story about a Sunday school class going for a nature walk. Along the way they see farms, streams, mountains, and many animals. It is fun to try to find some of these things with the children when we do our nature walk.
