Children are naturally curious about their world and enjoy exploring their surroundings. Because of their inquiring minds, children are eager to know why things are the way they are and will ask many questions about their immediate environment. On a recent nature walk children could be heard asking, “I wonder what is under the rocks?” “What is that bird eating?” “Does that flower smell?” and “Why are the ants fighting?” Childhood is the time to encourage and nurture early interests in nature.
