   Autumn Treasures

   by Laura @one.wild.family.life

   Autumn is the season of nature’s bounty: so many natural treasures can be observed and collected at this time of year. It’s the perfect time of year to get out and about and discover the changing world around us. It can be really fun to get your little ones to join you on an adventure into nature this time of year, I often find they are super little spotters, always looking for something to fill their pockets. Conkers and acorns are a real favourite for my two to collect – we love using them to aid in learning too, counting and sorting are great activities to do.

   World Oceans Day

   To mark World Ocean's Day I have put together some ideas for Ocean themed play. Its an easy way to start discussion with Children around the importance of our oceans and how we can protect them.

   Rhyming Nature Cards 

   Review by Emily Dalby @freerangeedventurer

   We received one of the new additions to the website today, the Rhyming in Nature cards. They are a really good size, the illustrations of the animals are absolutely beautiful and it's brilliant that they look like true representations of the animals and not cartoon like as some other animal cards tend to be.

   Early Maths Fun

   Written by Laura @one.wild.family.life

   I am a home educating mum of two, my son, is a very visual and physical learner, he remembers things so much better if there is something more than a written work sheet, or if he can physically engage in the learning. He also is a storyteller and loves it when the world around him is encompassed in the story too. Because of this I try to create learning experiences that fit with his learning style. I love using resources from The Wooden Play Den with him – here are a few of our most played ‘learning’ games.
