This is a small collection from our last two tree studies. You can see the pinecone with its seeds and the oak leaves with acorns. When we first gathered our pinecones we were having trouble getting the seeds out, but then our three year old showed us if you just throw the cones on the floor all the seeds will spill out! Problem solved, yet very messy!
This is our nature table. It is not as pretty as many that I have seen, but it holds whatever we have brought in from our walks. We have two collection boxes that we found at Hobby Lobby for only $5 each. Also there is a small basket and two trays. In the far back left corner is our bug house. It originally held butterflies, but at present it has 3 pupa that came from our garden. We are curious what is going to emerge.
This picture doesn't quite show up, but it is our three year olds favorite place in the school room. Daily he brings each jar to me and tells me what is inside. We have 4 butterflies, 1 grasshopper, a cicada with its empty shell, and a dragonfly. Some of these we found on the ground and others we found on the grill of the car!
This shelf holds our field guides, some spore prints, feathers found and the box has rocks inside it. This is also the shelf where we keep our nature journals.

What a great post about collections. I love your Hobby Lobby collection boxes...great price too.
This is a great example of how simple but satisfying a collection can be in our family.
Thanks for sharing,
