Treehouse Forest Outdoor Education

Wasp hive exploration for enquiring minds. Children looked at real hives, compared the shapes of holes, made their own hives with the paper shapes, drew what they saw, and asked lots of wonderful questions I was ready to answer or help them deduce answers.

Nature provides such beautiful and genuine learning opportunities! Deer, squirrel, and raccoon tracks all around our forest classroom and beyond.

These lovely visitors came in the front gate in the morning about 5 minutes after I did. Just checking things out. <3

When our Big Buddies from Quest join us, it always a great day! The children really benefit from building relationships with these older "kids." They play with them, tell them stories, listen to them, and inspire them. It's really wonderful to witness.

Small loose parts lead to fine motor skill development, creativity, and sensory learning.
