Fall on the Nature Table

The Dragon and St. George have departed the Nature Table. The Autumnal Gnomes have gathered in their cave with a stash of acorns. Mother Earth sits near the cave, eventually she will join the gnomes and hide away for the winter. The pumpkins are out, and Mousey has nibbled a home for himself. The gnome … More Fall on the Nature Table
Transitions – into September and a new school year
September 1, 2016
Our nature table got neglected a bit over the summer, and the boys start back to school this week, so last night I cleared it off and started fresh.

Now that it is March, it felt appropriate to remove King Winter from the nature table.

Transitioning into Fall on the Nature Table / Pumpkins!
October 5, 2015
October is now upon us, so the carrot people have transitioned off the nature table, as have St. George and the Dragon, and we’ve changed up the silks a little as well. In their place we have felted wool pumpkins (made at parent evenings) and an Autumnal Gnome that Oliver made a few years ago … More Transitioning into Fall on the Nature Table / Pumpkins!
