Early Spring Nature Table

early spring nature table

Some moss from our yard, a few pebbles collected from the beach, a couple needlefelted snails hanging out, and some egg shells sewn with millet seeds. Hopefully soon we'll have grass!


ETA: I had meant to include that I got the idea for this project from the book The Children's Year, a great book if you interested in Waldorf-style crafting, or even if you aren't! It has many projects in it that you can do with older kids. It's one of my favorites!

OOhh, its lovely. I have the Children's Year, I like the brown egs, they look better than white ones would have. Thanks for sharing.
