Mini Print-at-Home Passport!

The Mini Passport is a simple one-page sheet that families can print out and fold into a small booklet. With a parent’s help, children can text each site’s keyword to discover a unique nature mission. Once the mission is complete, get it stamped at the Nature Net site if you’re there, or parents can initial the Passport instead. The Passport gives children the opportunity to discover 19 new ways to explore the world around them.

Cuando la misión sea completada, puede ser estampada en el sitio si estás ahí o tus padres pueden firmar sus iniciales en el pasaporte. El pasaporte le da a los niños  la oportunidad de descubrir 19 nuevas maneras de conocer el mundo a su alrededor.
