Head to a fossil-rich beach, cliff, or quarry with a small hammer and scan for ammonites, shark teeth, and belemnites — the thrill of holding a 300-million-year-old creature is incomparable.
Stack old pallets, fill them with pinecones, bark, bamboo tubes, and straw to create a cosy shelter for beneficial insects — a hands-on garden project that teaches children about ecosystems.
Letting babies explore safe household materials — fabric swatches, dried pasta, cool water — to stimulate their senses and build early cognitive and fine motor skills.
