Yard photo project

This is a great project to fill a few hours. If you have a photo printer you can do it all in one day, otherwise it can be done in 2 parts over 2 weekends.

Ask your child to pick out interesting things in their own back yard, or on your street if you don't have a yard. You can either take pictures of the interesting things they find or they can, depending on age. Try and find at least 15 things in case some don't turn out well.

After the pictures are printed let your child choose which pictures they want to display on a poster board, and have them organize and glue the pictures. If your child is working on spelling or writing you can label the pictures. Or, you can just decorate the board. We made ours when my son was around 2 or 2.5, and he was so proud to have it on his wall and show everyone that came over.

It is particularly nice in Spring to go out and look for bugs, flowers, and other signs of new life!!
