Flower tea anyone? 🌸 . It’s been snowing here. And raining. And cold. We needed a little outdoor pick-me-up today and so we bundled up and put together this little flower tea station in our yard, an idea I came across from #natureplaymay . It eventually turned into “chocolate tea”, aka mud, but it was pretty while it lasted. . ps. could someone send some warmth and sunshine our way, please and thank you ☀️ . . . . . #natureplay #naturelovers #naturekids #wildandfree #wildandfreekids #enchantedchildhood #unschooling #mylittlenaturecreation #montessoriathome #gooutsideandplay #homeschooldays #homeeducator #charlottemasonhomeschool #charlottemasonirl
Crawling into Monday like 🐜🐜🐜 . Never did I ever think I’d have insect diagrams hanging on my walls, can anyone else relate? 🤣🙋‍♀️ . #exploringnaturewithchildren . . . . . . . #naturestudy #naturekids #natureisneat #raisingnaturalists #wildandfreekids #charlottemasoninspired #charlottemasonhomeschool #homeschoollife #homeschooldays #notallclassroomshavefourwalls #homeeducator #montessori #reggioemilia #naturetable
“Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for the imagination." - Anne of Green Gables . We met up with our @wildandfree.co group yesterday to explore a local wildlife refuge. The kids hiked, climbed and wondered at the natural world, and the grownups wondered right alongside them. . It was positively splendid.😉 . . . . . . . . . #wildandfreechildren #raisingnaturalists #wildernesskids #wildandfreemama #letthembelittle #wildandfreekids #momofboys #educationisanatmosphere #charlottemasonliving #charlottemason #charlottemasoneducation #homeschoolcollective #homeschoolmama #homeeducation #anneofgreengables #365homeschool #natureschooling #exploringnaturewithchildren
Caterpillar anatomy with Play-Dough! 🌿 (Are y’all getting tired of my butterfly posts yet? 🤣) . Despite our efforts, we couldn’t find a real caterpillar to study ~ so we made one 🐛 . I had always kind of poo-poo’ed homemade Play-Dough until I tried it myself. Well, I have seen the errors of my ways and admit it is SO much better than the store bought stuff! . I used Danielle’s recipe @wovenchildhood (thanks, Danielle!) but added food coloring, and lemon essential oil to up the sensory factor. The boys played for hours! #exploringnaturewithchildren . . . . . . . . . . #raisingnaturelovers #naturestudy #wildandfreechildren #wildandfreemama #educationisanatmosphere #charlottemasonliving #charlottemason #charlottemasoneducation #homeschoolcollective #homeschoolmama #homeeducation #365homeschool #natureschooling #handsonlearning #montessori #the12weeksofspring
Part of raising lifelong learners is leading by example. 🌿 Whether you homeschool or not, a home atmosphere of learning encourages kids to seek out knowledge and take ownership of their education. 🌿 . I’ve been loving this book about Maria Merian, a German girl who lived in the 1600’s, and one of the first naturalists to observe and record metamorphosis. Back then most people thought insects came from spontaneous generation. 😱 When she was 13, she went against societal norms and poured her life into studying and painting butterflies and other insects. If you’re a science/history nerd like me, this one is worth a read! . I love learning about women who changed the world. And my reading buddy isn’t bad either 🐶💙 . . . . . . . . #educationisanatmosphere #raisingreaders #wildandfreechildren #wildandfreemama #charlottemasonliving #charlottemason #classicalconversations #charlottemasoneducation #homeschoolcollective #homeschoolmama #homeeducation #naturestudy #365homeschool #natureschooling #exploringnaturewithchildren
“It takes all sorts to make a world.” ~ Badger 💙💙💙 📚 This month’s read aloud brought to you by The Wind and The Willows ~ we are loving it so much! My kids will sit for three chapters and BEG for more 🍰 Coffee cake thanks to my three year old who asks “when are we having cake” at least 3 times a day ☕️ reheated for the third time 💁‍♀️ And of course the “after” photo ~ courtesy of sweats, no makeup and a tiny dragon #livingmybestlife #realstagram . (We are reading the condensed and illustrated version by Dalmatian Press) . . . . . . . #readaloudrevival #readaloudfamily #raisinglittlereaders #alivingeducation #charlottemasonliving #charlottemason #homeschool #charlottemasoneducation #classicalconversations #homeschoolcollective #homeschoolmama #homeeducation #365homeschool #wildandfreechildren #wildandfreemama
