Be a Nature SmART Kid!

How To Participate In This Program:

Follow these 5 simple steps:

leaf Bookmark, download, or print the Nature SmART Activity checklist for your child and the accompanying Adult Guide for you.
leaf Decide on a realistic goal for your child. You know your child best – how many of the checklist activities can your child comfortably do in the time you have available for this project?
leaf Pick a park, playground, backyard, beach, garden, farm or other suitable destination for each activity you plan to undertake. Read the helpful tips for adults too! Be prepared: learn ahead of time what to wear, bring and do for a safe excursion. Keep the activities simple, age-appropriate, and focused on having fun.
leaf On your child’s copy of the checklist, have your child check off each activity as your child completes it. When you have reached your goal, help your child select and print one of the Nature SmART Kid certificates on this webpage. Either write, or have your child write, your child’s name in the appropriate space on the certificate.
leaf Enjoy celebrating with your Nature SmART Kid!
