Wonder Bowl

July 3, 2009 by admin 

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 my favorites:

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. At dinnertime I let Abby decorate the table for everyone to see the fun things she has found in nature. It has become a special part of our home.

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

What a fantastic and simple idea!
