Friday: Play!—Wonder Bowl

Click here for the giveaway.

At the end of the book Last Child In the Woods by Richard Louv he gives tips on exploring nature with your children, this was one of them:

Keep a “wonder bowl.” Kids fill their pockets with acorns, rocks and leaves. Empty those pockets into a bowl, so kids can linger over their treasures.

This our wonder bowl, for dinnertime I let Abby decorate the table for everyone to see the fun things she has found out in nature. It has become a special part of the house.

Over at Nature for Kids they show some great examples of nature boxes (pictured below) go over there to get more details.

What a fantastic and simple idea.
