Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it -Confucius
Forest School has had such a positive impact on our family. The lessons that our 4-year old is learning are not just restricted to him–the lessons seep into family life due to Bergen’s enthusiasm and excitement over sharing all the knowledge, skills and appreciation that he is gaining.
Recently, I mentioned in our preschool hiking post that “noticers” can be a fun addition to any outdoor adventure. A noticer is an easy to make tool that allows kids to hone in on the details of anything worth investigating. When Bergen came out of school raving (and using it profusely) about his noticer, I knew it was not only something worth creating again at home, but something to share with others!
To create your own, you’ll just need the following:
- Paper Plate
- Markers, crayons, or paint
- stick
- heavy duty tape
