Hand made games

Once upon a time...

“We do our children a service whenever we turn their attention to natural things- stones, grasses and flowers, trees and animals- or find creative and attractive ways to bring Nature into our homes and classroom.(…)Developing a close relationship with nature in these ways promotes not only the health of our children but the health of the planet as well. ”

Nature made whistles

“Our task as parents and educators of young children is not to make them frightened of environmental dangers, but rather to provide them the opportunities to experience…the “sense of Wonder”. Out of this wonder can grow a real feeling of protective kinship with the Earth.”
