Toddler Spring Hunt Mini Adventuring

IMG_5539.JPG

As part of our ongoing mini adventuring with toddler Noah I decided to start on some simple hunts for him, our first started with a simple hunt for Spring…

We found all on our list apart from the Snowdrops which we then went on to discover on our school run walk.

Here’s how our hunt went..

IMG_5522.JPGNoah wanted to feed the squirrels, but they kept their distance..

IMG_5524.JPGwe found our first natural treasure from our list!!
It was a strange looking Pinecone..

We found lots of frozen puddles on the way..

IMG_5532.JPGand when we got to the lake that was frozen too… But it didn’t stopped Noahs ability and optimism in trying to entice out some ducks..

    I got very excited when I saw this on Facebook, I’m definitely going to do it with my 3 year old! Did you know though that bread isn’t terribly good for ducks? Our local council have put signs up pleading with the public to not feed bread to the ducks and have given a list of alternatives including thawed frozen peas.

        No problem! I think it’s becoming a bit more widely known. We bought duck food too but can’t always afford it so frozen peas are a good option!
