Activity Introduction
You might think a treasure map just shows you where to find buried gold, but have you ever thought that there might be treasure all around you? Nature provides us with so many useful, beautiful things that are still valuable. What do you treasure in nature? Think about the smell of flowers, the sound of birds or rain falling, or the sight of dew drops in the morning. In this activity, you will create your own ‘natural treasures’ map.
This is a good activity for kids to complete independently.
