Environment Outdoor

Lie on your back in the grass and spend time spotting animals, faces, and castles in the clouds — a calming, imaginative outdoor pastime that costs nothing and needs no equipment.

The Essentials

  • Find open sky away from trees and buildings for the widest, most uninterrupted view
  • Lie on a blanket or mat so you can stay comfortable long enough for shapes to actually form
  • Relax your focus rather than staring hard — shapes tend to appear more easily with a soft, wandering gaze
  • Watch cumulus clouds on partly sunny days, since their puffy, changing edges make the best shapes
  • Take turns naming what you see with a partner or child — it becomes more fun and imaginative as a shared game
