🎯 Objective

Make your own keepsake box to collect and remember special treasures from nature.

🧺 Materials

• Small box or plastic baggie
• Pencil
• Notebook

🚶‍♀️ Procedure

1. Go for a walk outside with your family.
   • Look around carefully and notice the shapes, colors, and textures of nature.
2. Collect small non‑trash items you find along the way.
   • Examples: rocks, sticks, pinecones, leaves, acorns, or flower petals.
   • Avoid picking living plants or disturbing animals.
3. Return home and sketch the items in your notebook.
   • Label each drawing with where you found it and what it reminds you of.
   • You can also write a short story or memory about your walk.
4. Store your treasures in your box or baggie.
   • Decorate the box with stickers, drawings, or your name.

💡 Extension Ideas

• Create a Nature Journal to record new finds each week.
• Use your keepsake box for a Science and Geography lesson — identify where each item came from and how it formed.
• Share your collection with friends or classmates and explain what makes each item special.
