A walk through the marvels of nature can foster a natural sense of wonderment amongst children through the use of hands-on exploration to discover the natural world, which in turn, would help them learn science and ecology in the most interesting way possible.
Nature walks are an opportunity to relax, take your time, and explore the environment. “A nature walk is a great way to ‘unplug,’ observe, and explore nature while enjoying the outdoors,”.
Purpose:
Going on a nature walk and deliberately noticing things encourages children to observe with all their senses. Children can learn to focus their attention and take in the details of things around them. It can be a peaceful, reflective experience for you and your children.
Walking in Nature Reduces Stress and Anxiety

Importance:
By observing the environment with all their senses, children build new brain pathways! That brain development provides a strong foundation for life-long learning. You’re also working on a child’s motor skills, like running, balancing, climbing above and under things.
Benefits:
Nature walks, along with suitable follow- up activities, can lead to the development of children’s social, emotional, language, cognitive, physical and creative aspects. Walking in nature has many proven benefits for our mental and physical wellbeing. It can help our physical body, but it can also improve our cognition, change our brain and help us foster important practices such as mindfulness and gratitude.

“Usually, when people go on a nature walk, they usually only look at things. Only the eyes are involved. We  smell, touch and feel the texture”. Rishita Tekriwal (student)
