It is great to see the world through the eyes of children.  There are simple things in day to day life that can be a thrill for young children.  Below are a few ideas to get you started thinking.  Try to take time for them to marvel at the world and see new things.

• A car wash (the drive through kind or a bucket and a water hose in the driveway at home)
• Parking on the street near a construction site to watch the big trucks
• Feeding ducks bread at the park
• Collecting leaves, pinecones and rocks
• Driving across a bridge where they can see the water
• Driving past a place where you can see animals
• Any place that has something out of the ordinary, like a fountain or sculpture
