Getting Out in Nature with Mary Jo Surges-Prokop
Ken and Michelle are joined by Mary Jo Surges-Prokop, Early Childhood Education Specialist with the Boise Parks and Recreation Department. Learn why exploring nature is important for building connection and curiosity with your children. There are many green spaces to explore from big to small and for different comfort levels. You do not need to climb a mountain to be out in nature. Go outside with your child, be curious as you explore, look at bugs, or the unique shapes of different flowers and leaves, walk barefoot in the grass.
CONNECTING with Nature while CONNECTING with your Child= MAGIC!
