Our Sprouts class has been hard at work on creating a miniature “fairy village” of many small house structures made of bark, grass, leaves, and any other available earth materials. This kind of play helps children become familiar with their environment, and gives them a sensory experience of place that is so important for feeling connected to the landscape and familiar enough to really observe and learn.
During our craft time we made pinecone bird feeders to help the birds along on their migrations.
