Nature

Nature is one of my loves and I try to integrate it into each day, in some way. A few weeks ago we learned about apples and I had collected a LOT of acorns and buckeyes for the sensory table. We dumped all of the acorns and buckeyes on the playground in hopes that the squirrels would find and hide them. Nope. They aren't very hungry squirrels. Every single acorn and buckeye are still on the playground. The children are very fascinated with these acorns and buckeyes and are collecting them and stomping them whenever we go out to the playground. It's great! 

Stomp and crack!

She cracked open and lined up these nuts
for the squirrels. She made it
easy for them.
