It’s the perfect chance for kids to burn off energy while adults relax and connect with other foster families.
✂️ Keep the Fun Going at Home: Nature Collage Craft
Need a calm afternoon activity? Try making a nature collage after a family walk!
You’ll need:

Let children get creative and talk about what they saw or did on their walk—it’s a brilliant way to reflect and have fun.
