The Nature Table

The children bring home sticks and stones and dinosaur bones {just kidding} from every nature hike we take. They are completely smitten with all things Mother Earth, and we love that about them.


But it does get messy. So last spring I designated a small table on our front porch The Nature Table. It was a way for me to keep our foyer clear of crumpled up leaves and worm-hatching acorns. The kids pack their pockets full and then empty out before heading inside. Here's what the table looks like this week.
