We take a lot of walks.  Sometimes the kids get bored of doing the same thing on the walk.  This time I had LittleZabba grab a bucket and I told her we were going to do some collecting while we took a walk.  She picked up flowers, pretty leaves, any little thing she found interesting.  When we got home we got out paper and glue and made art using what she had collected.  She had such a fun time.  The walk was more entertaining, and the art time made her giddy.
