It just has the cutest ideas including several adorable crafts, but most of all some really fun games to play with friends out in this beautiful "natural world" of ours! Order it from the library and take a peek, but it will probably be one you will want to buy!
Anyway... this wonderful book had the idea to make "homemade boats"out of (almost all) natural materials. We spend the last couple of days collecting items for our boats. Some things came from our craft closet (cork, Popsicle sticks, feathers, tacky glue ) but most we gathered from our backyards and woods (dandelions, tulip petals, hosta leaves, bark, lots of sticks, grasses, and other misc. items we thought worthy enough for our cute creations).
Unfortunately, with the gross weather we were unable to test our boats on the creeks but we have big plans for next week! It will be interesting to see who's will float and stay afloat the longest. Each one of the kids boats is unique and they all had different strategy's as to why their would succeed but we shall see...

You guys are so crafty! Wow! What a great idea and a wonderful excuse to get together with friends ;)
Okay, how much wine did you have to drink for all those corks? :)
