You might think this has nothing to do with online learning, but you'd be wrong. The link in this post (click on the title, above, or 'Direct Link', below) takes you to a website. That's the online part. And the website suggests an activity that can be done with local materials outdoor in front of where you live. That's the learning part. There is this myth that pervades our field that 'online learning' means sitting in front of a screen doing stuff on the computer. But it isn't. The beauty of online learning is that it allows you to learn anywhere - outside the house, outside the classroom (on one of my recent bike rides I saw a sidewalk mosaic inspired by similar online learning).
