Take your child on a walk to look for the signs of summer. Talk to them beforehand about things to look and listen for and things to smell and touch. 

 

Things to observe: 

 

• look at the sky and observe clouds and areoplane trails 
• listen for the signs of summer such as bees buzzing, birds singing, children playing and lawnmowers 
• observe people working, playing and relaxing in the sunshine 
• spot butterflies, ladybirds and bumblebees 
• collect natural things such as leaves, wildflowers and feathers
