Due to hunting season this month, we were unable to venture out into the woods. This did not stop us from finding other creative ways to be with nature outside on Fridays!

Here are some pictures from our face creations made with found natural items

 

We collected pine cones around our campus and brought them back to our classroom to create tasty treats for the birds and squirrels.  We also explored many books about birds and squirrels and how they prepare for the change from fall to winter.

We went on a stick hunt and created jingle sticks with our finds! Another great activity for fine motor, hand-eye-coordination, patience, and helping each other out!  Our completed jingle sticks quickly became magic wands, swords, walking sticks, instruments, and so many other creative play ideas!
