# 1992 VHS • My First Nature Video 60 FPS

My First Nature Video is a children's instructional video produced by Sony Kids Music and Video as part of the My First Step-by-Step Activity Videos series. The program introduces more than twelve hands-on nature projects for children, each opening with a materials list and step-by-step instructions presented on screen. The first segment covers building a matchbox showcase for displaying natural collections such as shells, pebbles, and seeds. Subsequent projects include planting seeds in flower pots and observing bean germination in a glass jar, growing watercress in decorated eggshells, making a bird pudding and pine cone feeder, threading a nut string for garden birds, and taking tree bark and leaf rubbings with wax crayons. Later projects include forcing indoor twig growth in winter, building pit traps to catch and observe garden insects, creating a bottle garden with moisture-loving plants and ferns, constructing a caterpillar house and observing metamorphosis, pressing and displaying flowers, making a worm farm in a glass jar with alternating soil and sand layers, taking plaster casts of animal footprints, and following nature observation ethics including rules on rare plants, nesting birds, and eggs. The program closes with an advertisement for other titles in the series including My First Cooking Video and My First Science Video, and contact information for the Sony Kids Music and Video Fan Club in New York.
