I personally have made an effort to immerse my own three children in nature. My new website focuses on encouraging others to do it as well. take a look natureforkids.net It’s refreshing to hear about kids exploring the outdoors again.

We have three kids under five and have discovered that hiking with children is a whole different ball game. One thing that we have learned is to select hikes with great action scenery (waterfalls, animals, birds, etc.) Kids (at least our kids) are very oriented to observing action along the way and really enjoy "finding" something. I wrote a blog post about this a few months back: http://trailmix.net/blogs/barlow/archive/2007/09/22/selecting-a-hiking-trail-for-the-whole-family-three-tips.aspx Hi Melissa

"Anna Goes Hiking." (ages 2-7) In this story, Anna goes on her first hiking trip with her mom and dad. She discovers many things about nature and the outdoors on this exploration. The back of the book has some interactive point-and-learn activities where children can learn more about some of the animals Anna finds along the trail. It also has information about what to bring if you want to go hiking. Anna Goes Hiking is the fourth book in the Bur Bur and Friends children's book series. Bur Bur and Friends is a group of multicultural characters who educate kids about sports and outdoor exploration. Happy Hiking!
