Hello happy outdoor families! Welcome to happy outdoor playtime. This segment of the podcast is designed for kids from babies up through the elementary years, and their grown ups, to listen to together. Each week I will bring you a simple play invitation that I hope will be a jumpstart into some really fun play outside! Ideally, you will listen to this podcast outside, in your special nature space where you can play.

Today we are going to be exploring textures, hunting for textures in our spaces and playing a guessing game using our sense of touch. For today's playtime, you will need a paper bag, or cloth, or something else that you can conceal nature objects inside. You and your child will be feeling the hidden objects and trying to guess what they are by their texture.

Enjoy your playtime!!
