Involve the kids
Get plotting…Get the children involved in planning your walks, plotting it on a map and map-reading while out. It will give them a great sense of achievement. They can also turn their map into a memento with ‘X marks the spot’ notes (This is where mum dropped her ice cream; or, if you’re in the countryside, Dad stepped into cowpat here!).
Turn it into a shoot… Bring a camera and let each child look out for the artistic shot, such as moss on a tree or dew on a spider’s web. The photos can be turned into picture postcards using a printer and a pack of photo postcards, and notes written about it in a walker’s diary.
