INSTRUCTIONS

Decide if your nature walk will be in the forest or by the sea. It might be in your local park or even your

garden. You will find different things in each environment.

Why not make a map of the area you’re in? You can show any features such as rivers, bridges, or footpaths and

then you can show where you spotted the different plants, tree or even animals on your walk.

Make sure you draw or sketch the things that you find and label them if you know their names

Sometimes plants can be very tiny or you may want to draw just the detail of something you find. Use your

magnifying glass to see the smallest details.

Remember not to pick the flowers or plants. You may find leaves or flowers

lying around on your walk - why not collect them in your plastic bags,

take them home and draw them later?

In recording the flowers that you find, you might want to

measure how high they are. If you do your nature walk

in the same place during different seasons you can

also record how the plants have grown.

FLOWER FAIRIES NATURE WALK

As the seasons change, there are always new things to find. From the changing plants and flowers to the

colours of the leaves on the trees, a nature walk is always fun, and even if you go to the same place every

time, the seasons will make sure it’s always different and surprising. See what you can spot!
