Winter Seasonal/Table


I hope everyone had Happy Holidays! We moved from SUNNY Florida to CHILLY Oregon! Our first step towards getting back into the homeschooling groove was to set up our Winter Seasonal Nature Table. We collected evergreens and pine cones from the back yard. My son chose a postcard of a gnome banking a fire on the hearth and cooking. This seems fitting as we are adjusting to the cooler weather and having lots of fires in the fireplace and making pot after pot of soup! He also added some clear crystals to represent frost,and ice. A felted Jack Frost is also displayed because one morning we woke to find that Jack Frost had been painting his frosty white pictures on our car and front lawn! Very exciting stuff for a kid who has lived in Florida his whole life!
