Crafts

We have plenty of craft ideas that use materials you probably already have around the house!

Coloring Pages

We have dozens of coloring pages, hand-drawn by Great Parks staff, that teach a little bit about local wildlife and nature!

Nature journaling requires very few supplies (a paper and pen, and maybe some crayons, markers or colored pencils if you’re feeling artsy) and is a nature activity that can be adapted to kids at any learning level! We have hundreds of prompts here, and we’ve highlighted some that are especially relevant today in the list below.
