“I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeking to guide him, it is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil.”

Ideas for Families in Summer
|
|
|
|
|
Collect small treasures of leaves, flowers, seeds, etc. and nestle them between two pieces of packing tape to create a crown!
|
|
|
|
|
Bring out some loose parts (such as gutters, funnels, flexi-hose, condiment squeeze bottles, bowls, buckets, spoons, sponges, ice) and play with water!

|
Construct a fairy-sized boat and watch where it goes! Read Fairy Boat by Tracy Kane for some inspiration.
