I recently set up a Nature Exploration Table
for "C" and "E" to enjoy in our family room.
I set them up with an assortment of rocks, shells, and some coral
on a tray with a magnifying glass and some jeweler's loops.
I love setting out things in an appealing way for the girls to discover and explore.
It's like a mini natural history/science museum at home.
I also wanted to show "E"s bug collection with you.
We found this shadow box frame at Goodwill last year
and "E" spent the summer collecting (dead) bugs she found in our yard.
No bugs were harmed in the making of this collection.
She pinned them to the fabric wrapped back board
with some of my sewing pins and now we have a little exhibit.
Happy Nature Exploration!
Fondly,
Pink and Green Mama

What a great idea. I was in Florida for a few days this winter. As I was constantly looking for seashells, I started to collect some broken ones. When I got back I make little 'sea shell scenes' out of them.I will put photos of them on my facebook page.
What great ideas! I love the shadow box, what a great find! I'd have to let the kids do their own pinning, I think I'd be a bit squeamish!
