Fall Animal Farm
~Fall~
Farm Animals
Playing with farm animals...
they needed a place of there own.Something with a shady tree that resembled the upcoming Fall Season. Some real grain,real water and real grass. Having these little things around the house made Aubries farm animals and imaginative ideas come to life. The table is hers for the time being to look at,to touch. To add too and continue to use that little creative mind,that children are so darn good at!

Halloween Tales
Halloween Tales
Preparing our books for upcoming Holiday & Season.
As each Season approach's the Little ones are Happy to Listen & learn all about what's to come. Especially when it comes to Story - Time. Along with the Literature class that Cody attends, he is also preparing his own story for the holiday. Sticker books that let the little ones use there imagination, as if they were the writers of that book. I will pre-read the page that they are working on to give them an idea of what the characters should be doing. But, low and behold I come back to peak and the characters have a life of there own. Then Aubrie & Cody proceed to tell me why the dog is on top of the cieling hiding from a monster instead of on the ground. It has been very eye opening to watch the creativity & book literally come to life.

Fairy House
What is a Fairy House?
Fairy Houses are small structures for the fairies and nature’s friends to visit. Sticks, bark, dry grasses, pebbles, shells, feathers, seaweed, pine cones and nuts are just some of the natural materials used. Ranging from rustic to intricate ‘Fairy Mansions’, these whimsical habitats are built by children, families, gardeners and nature lovers reflecting their creativity, joy and pride.
The simple challenge of creating a fairy house gives children a unique activity that encourages them to go outside and connect with the natural world, nurturing care and respect for the environment.

...a place for a Fairy
Each fairy breath of summer,as it blows with loveliness,
inspires the blushing rose.
The Fairy Placeby Joannda Riche
A place where few can go or tell
Follow the stream to the fairy dell.
Wings of silken lace, help them rise,
Upon the breeze of perfumed skies,
And in the place where the wee ones play,
Are made the flowers and the sunbeam's ray.
Captured in the fairy cup,
Each dewdrop is to gently sup.
The creatures they all sing along
To the merry little fairy song.
Dancing round on tippy toe,
They flash their colours just for show.
Their magic is a secret thing,
As they sit around the fairy ring.
The great tall trees are their best friends,
Guard them from where the forest ends.
And on the days when the sun is bright,
They catch the shadows and cast down light.
'Tis then you'll see the magic true,
Placed on the ground for me and you.
And as the branches gently rustle,
Behind the petals the fairies bustle.
With a flash of light they rush away,
from vision of man. They stay,
When all is quiet, all is calm,
They flicker within the sheltered balm,
To gently float once again,
And twinkle in the dripping rain.
Each fairy has, so they say,
A pointed ear on which they lay,
To hear what roots of trees might say.
The roots feel deep, and know it's true,
When we approach, the me and you.
The Fairies realm, is for a few
But you will know when elves invite
Your chance to see the fairy sight
For those who search for fairy ground
With good intention just and sound
Do not disturb this little place
Just look at the magic of their face
Their pointed ears and wings of lace
The fairies live quietly secure
Amongst themselves, in a World that's pure.
They know your mind, it won't deceive
A fairy if you don't believe!
