I often spend time looking at new websites that I've been linked to through other blogs, e-mails, and forums. This website I found via a calendar. An actual, real-life, non-electronic calendar. I know, I was shocked too.
Green Hour is a program by the National Wildlife Federation. Their goal is to give children one hour of "unstructured play and interaction with the natural world" (Green Hour > About Green Hour). What a cool idea! Instead of just preaching about why its a good idea (although there is some of that, thankfully), they include activities that you can do with your children during your green hour!
The latest talks about dancing in the rain, or having spoon races where you see whose spoon fills up the fastest. There are many other ideas as well. They have links to information to read to further your knowledge on nature-themed ideas. All in all, I just think its a really cool site.
Tell me what you think!

That is fun! I often tend to do those sort of activities that most moms just don't do because of the mess...this one has some neat tips. I'll be using it! Green Hour! Perfect!
