It's a tent! It's a hammock! I don't know about you but I think this looks pretty darn fun!😁🏕

We set the tent up as a book tent today in Fulham... the children decided it was a commando rolling tent! :-)
We read a story then so far are up to 42 mins of rolling about the tent looking around their 'kitchen' for a 'bear'!!

I'm sad to report that one of the first pioneers and brightest shining stars of the children and nature movement has left us after a three and a half year long battle with cancer. Erin Kenny started the first forest school in the US, at a time when those were a completely unknown concept. She trained hundreds of educators in the "Cedarsong Way", her child-directed, nature-play based way of teaching preschool, and became an inspiration for many, myself included. She may be gone, but her legacy will live on.❤️️🌿
This is what I believe was the last article published about her before her passing; it's well worth a read.

A decade ago, on 5 acres of old growth forest near the heart of Vashon, islander Erin Kenny started something rarely heard of at the time: an outdoor preschool, where children, come rain or shine, spent their school hours entirely outside. Since then, the Cedarsong program has taken root and flouris...Great list of children's picture books about nature from Run Wild My Child!
As parents, we worry about our children because we care. But it's so important to try to let go a little bit and let them put their abilities to the test. They will learn through trial and error, from failures and successes and by taking risks, what they're capable of. And that will prepare them well for life.❤️️
