Maisy's Nature Walk

Maisy’s Nature WalkIdeal for spring story times! The world of nature comes alive for young listeners during a vibrant, interactive walk with Maisy.

Before your Maisy story hour Use the printable flyers, posters, and invitations to spread the word about your Maisy story hour. Be sure to write in the date, time, and location before you make copies.

Read the storyWhile reading, ask the children to point out the items that Maisy is looking for.

Post-reading activityAfter reading the story, look back over the illustrations and invite the children to comment on what they notice. Encourage them to talk about their own experiences with nature as well. Some questions you might ask:Where do people go on nature walks in your neighborhood?What do people see when they go on nature walks with their family?What do you like about nature?

Then hand out the following activity sheets for children to complete at the story hour or take home for more Maisy fun later. Be sure to have plenty of crayons and pencils on hand!

Bonus activity ideaRaffle off a family pass to your local nature preserve!
