PlayTime


Children gain respect for nature when you draw their attention to its amazing variety and the interdependence of animals, plants and people. Show respect for life by conspicuously avoiding treading on plants or insects, and wonder aloud at beautiful scenery.


Caring for plants teaches respect as well as responsibility.


Show your child how to plant


something edible and care for it until it is grown, at which point she can eat it, or be shown how to prepare and cook it.


Visit a spot regularly throughout the year and note all the differences. Ask leading questions to extend observation. Photograph each stage a tree grows through. Can you find a molehill, a smooth stone, a spider’s web? Did birds finish all the raspberries?


Blackberries will soon appear on bushes. Children should consider how to avoid getting prickled when brambling. How satisfying to take some berries home, add apples if necessary, and make their own crumble!
