Max’s Corner
Backyard Exploration

Your backyard is the perfect place to explore nature with young children. The world outside your backdoor is teeming with life, you just have to look! Flip over rocks, study a flower, sit under a tree – you may be surprised by what you find. Young children are great at exploring backyards; they are naturally curious, they notice small details (like an insect on a grass stem), they are enthusiastic, and they explore with all their senses. Follow their lead and have fun!
