Schools Tree Day - Get to Know a Tree

In this activity children are asked to ‘investigate’ a tree. Younger children will investigate the differences between trees in the yard. Older children will be blindfolded and either feel the features of a tree or have the features explained to them by another child. They will then take off their blindfolds and try to identify their tree based on the features they felt or had explained to them.

Activity Intention:

• This activity is designed to help connect children to the wonders of the natural world through sensory and play-based learning.
