I'll have to try that. We have an extensive shell collection--being Navy usually puts us close to the beach--and I never know what to do with it. They boys like to pull it out and sort it every so often but not enough to have it available all the time in our limited space!

Love the Form I one and was just wondering if you had made a Form II. Hope you have a wonderful day, Celeste :-)AMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524341577985354422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-74475560072462919972015-07-16T19:53:40.071-07:002015-07-16T19:53:40.071-07:00Thanks, Melissa!Thanks, Melissa!Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834674328751444179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-83316002478072203512015-07-16T05:45:50.791-07:002015-07-16T05:45:50.791-07:00You are a busy girl Celeste!!

Common, native items like leaves, acorns, rocks, and pinecones from the yard or local walks we leave outdoors for playthings. This is actually great motivation to get the kids to nature journal: I tell them that drawing their favorite bits really carefully into their nature journals is a great way to "keep" them forever, because we're not actually going to keep the specimens. ;)<br /><br />More rare items like shells, nests, and so on I keep in the office in a box that has our collection sorted into small tubs. I pull from these tubs for special projects, object lessons, science study, or nature swaps with friends.

My boys prefer to pile it all on and never get rid of any of their "treasures." It can be a bit unwieldy :) Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01242595555985631574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682457774245843924.post-79070688814542872412015-07-14T06:11:42.488-07:002015-07-14T06:11:42.488-07:00We decided to get started with Latin with "Ge...We decided to get started with Latin with "Getting Started with Latin"! ;) It's an inexpensive, easy to implement book--our library even had it for me to preview.
