Our Nature Table

This is our work in progress nature table, every week something new is adding to our ever growing collection. Many of the stones and shells were Sunboy's & my findings over the years. I love watching Fantail get excited to adventure through nature & find things for our nature table.. he also grabs things to look at now and then. We are also getting a good selection of books which we read at bed time. He loves learning about birds, insects and plants cycles. I am also learning a lot along our journey getting closer to nature. 

 

If Nature Table & Journaling is something that you would like to do with your kids or even for yourself I have a board on my pinterest fill of inspiration to get you started & in the nature explore mood :)

Visitor

We had visitor in our front yard the other day, the New Zealand Red Admiral sat on this tree for a awhile until I got to close with the camera. He mustn't like close ups :) He flew off but when I looked around again he was flying all around Fantail and the look on his face was magic, he said to me 'he loves me mummy'. Aww yes he does! He then perched back in the same spot. We love getting nature's visitors.

Our lovely afternoon bush walk

This week has been a strange one.. with receiving some bad news that has really changed our plans and life in many ways. The last three days I have spent feeling very teary and almost incomplete but everything is feeling more clear and spending some quality time with my boys, just us and nature felt so good to our souls.

Love Song, Sunboy & Fantail x

Exploring Nature in Our Neigborhood

After reading about nature journalling I decided it was something I would love to do with Fantail. He has shown interests in nature and the planet. We went for a walk around our neighborhood & I asked him to photograph all the things that caught his eye. He also brought along his bucket, binoculars and robot hand (which i ended up all carrying while he took pictures) 

Ready to explore.

Flax, Fern and Punga.

We brought home a few leaves, flower petals and berries which we done crayon rubbings and pressing to put in our nature journals. I am looking forward to explore more locations with Fantail and i am decided to also do my own nature journal. You should have ago too :)
