My current nature shelf.
Empty nests, birch bark, empty cocoons and fossils.
Skulls, lichen, empty cocoons and nests.
Snake skins, beetles, Cicada cases, broken eggs, moth and butterfly wings.
My collection of feathers.Ever since I was a small child, I always had a special place for my collections. I collected feathers, snake skins, butterfly wings, dead bugs, empty nests, cocoons and animal skulls. My nature shelf was the perfect place to store these treasures along with my nature guides and favorite books. This way my parents always knew that these things were sacred to me and should NOT BE THROWN OUT. Help honor your budding naturalist by finding an old shelf that they can repaint and store their treasures. This way you know where to put those objects that you often find in your child's pockets. It's also fun to have a family shelf too. Look how beautiful and interesting they can be!
I absolutely love these pictures! I need a nature shelf in my room!
ReplyDeleteI found a great interactive website that helps to identify trees, I thought you would appreciate it.

I will look for a shelf that you can take back to school with you. Wouldn't it be so cool if Harry the hawk left you one of his beautiful feathers? When you come home we will go in search of some wonderful treasures to begin your shelf. How exciting! Tack for the tree site I will post it today. Have fun in Harvard yard looking for seed pods! Mum
