Kindness to Nature Challenge

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference in the garden.

Inspired by Maya’s care for the Sunrise Patch, this printable challenge gives children 14 simple ways to show kindness to nature. Families or classrooms can choose seven activities for a one-week challenge or complete all fourteen.

Activities include listening to nature, spotting garden visitors, watering plants, maintaining a pollinator water dish, observing blooming flowers, leaving small shelter areas for wildlife, picking up litter, drawing nature discoveries, and teaching someone else how to help pollinators.
