Simon was home all day today (yay says the exhausted mama!).
Nathan was browsing through one of the new books I'd ordered called Earthwise which has some lovely ideas for environmental based activities and crafts broken down into seasons.
He came across an idea for making a stick house and was keen to get out there and make it "ummm, buddy, it's only 8.15am". It is very similar to what we've attempted before but this time we decided to try and make it a little more permanent. He had to wait a few hours before the rest of the family were ready to get into it too...
Simon made and framework from heavy bamboo and then we all wove the more flexible leafy bits of the branches amongst them.

Our chickens having a dust bath lol. Cheeky chickens.

I'll have to check that book out.
I love the teepee!
Makes me want to get out "The Dangerous Book for Boys" and see what delicious things we can find.
If you've got any seasonal based activity book there probably isn't a lot new in this one. I don't have many of this type of thing, so for us it does have some neat "new" ideas (look forward to doing things with our corn in Autumn which I wouldn't have thought of!). TDBFB does have some cool things doesn't it.
