Seasonal Birthday Celebrations

What was happening on the day you were born? Put a new twist on your birthday celebrations by bringing your loved ones or students closer to nature. This will be the greatest gift they receive and remember(economical and green too).

What better way to bring the children you know closer to nature than to have a special area set up with items and objects that represent the time of the year they were born. Each birthday celebration can be as unique as the individual you are celebrating.

Changes occur as the season unfolds. Think about it! Is the beginning of autumn the same as the end of autumn here in New England? NO! The leaves are green at the beginning, then gradually change color and eventually fall off. This is an important lesson to a child who is learning and gathering information about their environment and natural world.

Regardless of where you live though, there are always natural objects and changes that occur. This is what should be focused on and then you create something wonderful for individual you are celebrating.

So, start gathering and collecting and remember, you are on the road to starting something unforgettable. If you need guidance, just write me and I can help you get started. The most important thing is to have fun!
