    These ideas are fantastic! We have some medical issues and other busyness going on for May, but I plan to incorporate a lot of these activities into our nature study this summer. This will be the perfect way to engage my 3 yr old while the older kids and I are sketching and studying nature. Thanks!

    (I loved this post so much, I shared it on our fb page for our readers to enjoy. Thank you!)

    Add “mud kitchen” to your list of garden activities. Easily done – with couple of old tables, old play kitchen, old pans and tin plates and plastic containers you don’t need any more. If you don’t want real soil, you could use compost. And of course sand and water. It will work for all range of activities like “cake decorating”, “making a dough”, “tea parties” – those kids will do on their own. And you could use it for other educational activities: http://www.mums-dads.co.uk/education/mud-is-good-mud-kitchen-even-better/
