I used to take them on “field trips” every week during summer vacation, and then we would gather bits and pieces of nature, bring them home and draw or tape things in a Nature Journal. I would also draw and write about our adventures, and at the end of the summer gave them photocopies of all our journal pages. They are graduated from high school and college now, but still tell me how much they treasured our field trips in the summer.

Another thing I have done with them is to make “Nature walk Candles” where we gathered our bits and pieces of moss, dried mushrooms, sticks, pine cones, lichen etcetera and hot glued them around the base of a short glass turned upside down, topped with a nice chunky beeswax candle. Their mom still treasures their nature art.

Now I have another set of grandchildren age 3 and 1, and I am shamelessly stealing ideas from your blog to keep them entertained! Love all your postings, and the links to other creative sites. Tell Miss G that we are giving her pompom catapult a try next week! Thanks again,
