10 Nature Activities to Do At A Lake

 

🐸 Frog Hunting:

Nothing gets a child more excited than the prospect of catching a slimy, jumpy frog. Just make sure you release them back into the pond after your hunt!

🔍 Nature Scavenger Hunt:

Turn your lake or pond outing into a scavenger hunt by creating a list of items for the kids to find, like a smooth rock or a feather.

🚣 Boat Racing:

Get competitive with some boat races! You can make boats out of anything from sticks to leaves and see who comes out on top.

Ducks are hilarious creatures that will entertain your kids for hours with their quacks and waddles. Just don't get too close or they might start chasing you!

🧺 Picnic Time:

Take advantage of the beautiful scenery by having a picnic on the lake or pond's shore. Don't forget the snacks and bug spray!

🏰 Sandcastle Building:

If the lake or pond has a sandy beach, let the kids get creative with sandcastle building. Who knows, they might just create the next sandcastle masterpiece!

🎨 Nature Art:

Gather up some rocks, leaves, and other natural items to create beautiful nature art. Just make sure to leave everything as you found it!

If the water is clear enough, bring some goggles and let the kids explore what's under the water's surface. Who knows what kind of creatures they'll discover!

📷 Nature Photography:

Hand your kids a camera or phone and let them go wild capturing the beauty of the lake or pond. Just make sure to review their photos before they post them online!
