"Nature is a warm sensory bath that can counterbalance the cold overwhelm of too much activity, information, or stuff. Time in nature calms and focuses; for most children, it takes only a few minutes for them to begin to explore. Watch as they seek out places that feel particularly right to them, as they gather symbolic objects-leaves, sticks, bits of moss-that they discover. You can't manipulate nature, it must be delved into; it's a vibrant but neutral canvas onto which a child can pour their creativity." - Kim John Payne
What a great quote! The kids look like they're having a wonderful time!
