Imagination

A couple of feathers stuck in their hair and your child is instantly Geronimo or Pocahontas.

Long clusters of berries make beautiful earrings and a cicada skin is the perfect brooch.

Mother Nature provides the most diverse and fabulous “props box” for young children. Nearly every object found outside can become something special.

Encourage your child to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, the magic in the mundane and enchantment in the everyday.

“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.”
Carl Sagan
