The Nature Corner:Celebrating the Year's Cycle

Seasonal nature tables are an invaluable way of making young children aware of the changing cycle of the year. With simple materials, and basic skills in knitting and crocheting, a series of colorful and effective tableaux can be made in the home or at school to depict the seasons and major festivals. 

Instructions and diagrams are provided for making the figures and objects, along with basic tips for setting up the table and involving children. Each of the eleven tableaux is illustrated in full color. 

The Nature Corner is an excellent guide to enlivening your home or classroom and provides a great way for parents and teachers to help children experience the passing seasons and festivals.
