Lovely Short Nature Walk

Another lovely day in our local canyon. After the last nature walk, I just
left the backpack stocked with our journals, crayons for rubbings, colored
pencils for drawing, a towel, magnifying glasses, bird and flower
identification charts.
It was so simple to just grab it and go! Go outside! It's spring!

Another fun spring project!

The boys had a wonderful time using their easter basket grass to stuff some
of Jack's old clothes and make a scarecrow for their grandma's front yard.

A Fun Simple Project

A plastic tub, some soil, plants, rocks and dinosaurs and you have a
dinosaur garden! (I showed the picture from the DK Gardening Book that we
used as a sample- we skipped the rocks in the bottom, not really necessary.)
The boys' Gardening Grandma had all the supplies laid out on the outside
table when we arrived to her house and the kids just dove right in. Time
and materials! :)

Just Give Them Time and Materials

I love seeing what my children do when I just give them time, space and a
few materials. Take a step back today. Get out some art supplies or
flashcards and see what happens if you give very little direction.
