Children don’t need fancy toys or technology. They naturally yearn to explore the outdoors. Hours could be spent playing in mud, watching clouds float by, or observing animals. They see the simple beauty in nature. They love all things, from slimy animals to the beauty of seasons and the mountains. Children are curious to explore the natural elements around them.

  1. 1. The Day We Went Sledding

    We awakened to the whitest light
    Seeping through the blinds.

    To take a probing peek outside.

  3. 2. Cheeky Beak


    Cheeky Beak's a robin,
    He lives beside my house.
    He's redder than a berry,
    And rounder than a mouse.

  5. 3. The Wind

    The Wind is such a strange and amazing being –
    It has no legs, yet it travels far and wide.
    It soars up to the clouds, climbs mountain peaks,
    Swirls across sandy deserts and sweeps over the sea side.

    • By Coral Rumble
    • Published by Family Friend Poems May 19, 2022 with permission of the Author.

    When I’m caught out and angry, and tears start to flow,
    I pack up my rucksack and quickly I go
    To the huge, towering oak tree, in the field by the woods,
    Where nobody says that I shouldn’t or should.

  9. 7. White Planet

    Snow is falling, as quiet as a mouse;
    On people and on dogs, and on our house.
    A fluffy blanket now covers the street -
    The cars are white, and that is neat.

    I imagined, though ever so brief, that I was a leaf;
    And the wind blew me off my tree.

    Because of the wonderful sights I would see.
