The measurement of a tree circumference is a good rule of thumb to estimate the approximate age of many types of trees around Canada and the USA.Every year a new layer of growth occurs just under the bark, if you see it chopped down the years show as rings.The measurement of the tree circumference in inches is the approximate age of the tree in years!.For older kids make a game out of it like who can find a 10, 20 and 30 year old tree.Write down the size on paper or talk about.Wrap the measuring tape around the circumference of the trunk to find the size.Support them in finding a tree with a trunk a few inches wide to make measuring more fun. You can ask them to find one too big for them to hug, taller than mommy, that has flowers, etc. Guess the Trees Age Activity Activity Materials We put together 3 free tree activities for kids to foster learning and for fun. Learning about nature at a young age fosters respect and appreciation of our environment. We like to have some activities to pull out when camping or hiking to give the kids something to do if they need some re-direction (basically stop them from doing things we don’t want them to do). We want to share our love for nature with our kids and we also want to educate on the environment around them. Kids love being outdoors and free play but they sometimes need to be given guidance or ideas. Family outdoor adventures are about enjoying experiences together.
