Scavenge for teeny tiny woodland treasure
Collect lots of natural items that even a sharp-eyed owl wouldn't see :O)
Even grass has tiny grains of pollen, have you ever noticed it before?

Top tip!
Use an empty matchbox or egg carton to collect small items in -
this makes it a bit more challenging :O)
Create a teeny tiny outdoor sculpture or work of art with your items, then enter our ARTventure competition! You could:
- arrange your tiny treasures in a pattern on a flat rock
- follow the lines of the rings on a tree stump
- float them down a stream on top of leaves
Grass spotting
Just like the teeny weeny natural items you've collected, not many people notice the different types of grasses that are flowering at the moment.
See how many of these grasses you can find :O)

You can even whistle with grass. All you have to do is find a long blade of grass. Put the palms of your hands together and hold the grass taut between the tips and base of your thumbs. Now blow on the grass through the small gap :O)
how many did you spot?
