Two of my favorite activities are exploring nature with my kids and crafting with my kids. Today I got enjoy both during our nature craft! This morning we took a walk around the block and picked up pine cones, moss, rocks, sticks, walnuts and anything else that looked interesting. During our walk, the kids learned about pine trees, where moss grows, and had fun competing to find the biggest pine cone. Once we returned home, I sorted out our nature finds to prepare for our craft of Nature Fairies! I got really into it and was really proud of my fairy. As always, my youngest daughter also got really into it and made a really awesome fairy. It took my oldest a bit to get into it, but once she saw how awesome our fairies were, she jumped right in. We then had the idea to hang them in our tree and that is where they now live.

We visited a really neat little farm by Northfield called Old Orchard Farm. They had all kinds of animals. The kids got to feed the sheep and goats, pet the horse, and find eggs in the chicken coop. They held the eggs all the way home from Northfield to Wells. Clare was determined to turn her egg into a rooster. She had it tucked in her shirt. Unfortunately (for her) Miles ran it over with his toy lawn mower later that evening. Our visit got me excited for the day that we can own our own small hobby farm. |
