Spring is all about green. Leaves, buds, grass—green as far as the eye can see. To honor this most natural of colors, today we are taking a green hike for our Green Hour. What could be more perfect?

Camera, nature journal, and crayons in hand, we're heading to our favorite park to see just how many greens await us. We're going to count the different green natural objects we find, as well as the different shades of green they come in. And, of course, the kids are turning it into a bit of a contest, as siblings will do. We're also planning to take photos for our family nature journal and will take breaks along the way to sketch, and make notes on, our green discoveries.

Spring into Green!

How happy we are to welcome spring! How about you? Did you take a green hike with your kids? Log in here to share your green adventures and your favorite tales of spring.
