6 7 Ready for Nature Playtime?

Head to Prospect Park to explore Battle Pass by the Zucker Natural Exploration Area (or another location of your choice) to try these fun spring activities! 1. Explore Leaf Litter! All you need is a stick to poke around the leaves. Pick a spot and see what critters you can find that are helping to keep the forest healthy! Remember to put your wiggly friends back when you are finished exploring. 2. Build a bird nest! Take a walk through the park and see if you can spot bird nests. Notice the different shapes, sizes and materials, then try creating your own. Gather sticks, leaves and other materials and start building. 3. Paint with mud! Turn mud play into art. Paint with a leaf on the bark of a tree or with a flower on a rock. Add powdered watercolors or food coloring, crush a leaf or squish a flower petal to discover what other colors you can create using nature.

Brooklyn Nature Playtime! is funded by the Disney Conservation Fund and is a partnership between the Prospect Park Zoo, the Prospect Park Alliance and Tinkergarten.
