Like most children, my daughter loves to collect things from the outside. Since our nature table is a little full at the moment, anything she brings inside is used for the sink and float lesson. I am sure we will be testing leaves, sticks, flowers and more (only one rule: no insects!)
Love it! What do you do with the items after they're dunked? My kids have a tendency to bring in nature items and then put them in places they should not be - like jewelry boxes. And the next thing I know, we have weird mold issues. I don't want to dampen their love of nature.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite segment on David Letterman.. ha! I love their catchy little jingle and they have tricky ones that I have a difficult time figuring out.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this at home with my boys. :)
After they are removed from the water they are put on the towel and objects like the rocks can be dried. Then they are put back in the containers. I have been checking them and if they are in need of being removed,like the pine cones, I just take them out. Erin- I too, like the David Letterman version. It is so funny!
ReplyDeleteI love this and so many other of your wonderful ideas! thank you
