The outdoors really is the best playground. Whether it be at the beach, in the forest, or even in your own backyard, nature provides an abundant supply of sensory materials to spark so much imaginative play!
Last week’s Discover & Explore forest themed linky was just full of so many amazing posts centered around nature. I was really so excited to see so many ideas for using nature to create homemade toys. I’m hoping you’ll find these ideas as inspiring as I did!
