Encourage everyone to collect interesting leaves, rocks, or other natural treasures along the way. These simple activities allow you to connect with nature, relax, and appreciate the beauty of the outdoors.


DIY Crafts with Natural Materials: Unleash your creativity by engaging in do-it-yourself (DIY) crafts using materials found in nature.
