It's just a big green area (with a couple slight hills). Perfect for tag, picnics and fort building in the trees! We've really just named it and made it special by visiting frequently. And now it's a magical place for our family. 👟Recently, a concrete pad was added near it, which I was lamenting at first, but now I am taking advantage of it. Can you guess what activity I use it for?

It took me a couple years to make this idea into a reality (and so many failed attempts), but I'm so glad that I pushed through. I pray these will be a help in your home too!

We (me and the kiddos) are enjoying every minute of the much needed vitamin D! 🌞 I love seeing my kids creativity sparked while outside and it reminds me of this quote from my beloved Eleanor. “The most important ingredients in a child’s education are curiosity, interest, imagination and a sense of the adventure of life.” – Eleanor Roosevelt This quote (designed by me) is screen printed on a canvas banner and is perfect for your playroom, porch or schoolroom. -Jo #wildandfreechildren #childhoodunplugged #playroombanner ##homeschooldécor #shophandmade #nebraskamade #mylnk #handmadehome #EleanorRoosevelt While we fully support kids chipping in with chores, establishing daily rhythms and practicing healthy habits, we are ALL ABOUT ensuring our kids have adequate free time... especially in nature!
