A tiny plan for your day

Estimated time: 3 min to wrap up · 10 min to explore · 2 min to warm up. It's fine to stop early.

Before you start

What you’ll need

  • Warm coats and wellies
  • A familiar, safe route

Let's begin

Five simple steps

That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.

  1. Look around. What can you see? What has disappeared?

  2. Walk towards a tree or lamp post. Watch it appear out of the mist.

  3. Look for tiny water drops on webs, leaves and your coat.

  4. Listen. Do sounds seem different?

  5. Make up a story about a mysterious misty land.

All done!

That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
