No Child Left Inside

Because of my B.S. in Outdoor Education, and my experience in environmental education, the Snails spend a lot of time outside. I adore the book, Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv and the new initiative, No Child Left Inside. A lot of people ask us, "What do your kids do outside?" Here are some ideas of what we have done...

1. Unstructured Exploration
