I highly recommend Growing Up Wild and the activities that they have. It is
designed for 3 - 7 year olds. We use them regularly for our Early Childhood
nature program at the museum, and the PreK teachers in our town loved it so much
they convinced the District to send ALL of their PreK teachers to a training.

Lynn,
I have a book called "Natural Wonders" that was put together by the Minnesota
Children's Museum and the MN Office of Environmental Assistance. (800 877 6300).
It is a "guide to early childhood for environmental educators" and may be useful
to you. You also might want to check out Project Learning Tree

good luck!

Hi all,
I work at the Brooklyn Children's Museum and am creating a teachers'
guide for a unit called "My Green Community," which will be used by
teachers from PK-2 to explore their neighborhood. I am looking for great
resources and activities for early childhood on nature and
sustainability. Specifically, I am interested in more activities about
trees, plants, insects, water, food (consumption and access), waste
management and disposal, and energy consumption.
If you have any suggestions for early childhood, they would be greatly
appreciated!
