It wasn’t long ago that kids like you were spending most of your spare time outdoors. If you weren’t in
school, my animal friends and I could find you outside hiking, building a snowman, going skating or
skiing, sledding down a hill, or just enjoying the natural world around you.
But now, with all sorts of technology at your fingertips, you’re staying inside more than ever - and
we miss you! We want you to put down your tablet and phone, turn off the TV, shut down the
computer and come back outside.
What’s so great about being outside?
That’s an easy one: everything! Being outside is about listening to the birds chirp. It’s about getting a
breath of fresh air. It’s about daydreaming as you watch the clouds go by. It’s about being healthy and fit.
It’s about catching snowflakes on your tongue and jumping in puddles. It’s about warming up in the sun
and cooling off in the shade. It’s about having more fun than you’d have watching TV or playing a video
game. It’s about letting your imagination go wild and never getting bored because there’s so much to do!
Your Mission: Create your very own
ature Mission!
Your Nature Mission should be an easy, fun activity meant to get you, your friends and your family
outside and back into nature. You could go looking for animal tracks or flip over rocks to find bugs.
Love playing “I Spy”? You could create another fun game to play with your friends! Always up for a
challenge? Why not see who can count the most birds? The sky’s the limit!
