Convincing kids to put down their screens and go outside can sometimes feel harder than finding a squirrel that actually sits still for a photo.
That’s where the Curious by Nature guides come in. Featured recently in Canadian Geographic, these free guides in both French and English from Nature Labs and Environment and Climate Change Canada help turn everyday outdoor spaces into places for adventure, discovery, and plenty of ‘Wait…what’s THAT?’ moments.
Doesn’t matter if you’re exploring a forest, a park, or even your own neighbourhood, the guides encourage kids to follow their curiosity, ask questions, and discover biodiversity hiding right under their noses. From animal stories and outdoor activities to fun challenges and teacher resources, they’re packed with ways to make learning about nature feel less like homework and more like an adventure.
So this week, why not swap a little screen time for green time? You never know what you’ll discover when curiosity leads the way.
