Take A Nature Walk
If you live where the weather is nice today, go outside! Take a walk and see how many signs of spring you can see. Look for spring flowers pushing their way out of the ground. Can you see any new arrivals from the spring bird migrations?
Or maybe you might want to find two kinds of any one thing, like two flowers or leaves or rocks. Compare and contrast them. Make a venn diagram.
