Winter Nature Table

Since we’re about to clear out our winter nature table to make space for Candlemas, I thought I would share it here.  This is the first “official” nature table I have set up for the kids, and they loved it!  That’s the freesia we planted a few weeks ago.  I’m always amazed at how quickly forced bulbs grow.

I will really miss this little guy!  Scene from The Tomten and the Fox, by Astrid Lindgren.

My uncle gave me this crystal many years ago, but I never thought to pull it out for the kids until now.  The Boy loved this thing, and the crystal was involved in many of his games.  Seriously, one of the best playthings we’ve seen in a while.  This thing got way more action than half of the toys he received for Christmas.

Spring, here we come!
