We recently participated in a nature exchange. The object was to find 12 things during outside exploration that would fit inside an egg carton and then mail 'em off to some lucky participant; that participant, then, mailing you their cool finds.
These were some of the things we sent:
Well- we got our carton in the mail the other day!
Yippee! Mail!
Yippee! Cool stuff!
Yippee! Science!
The children were especially impressed by the driftwood "mouse".
I was especially impressed with the amber!
Though, the hops that they grow to brew their own beer was right up there on the coolness factor too.
(Matt would be jealous.)
Our nature table is looking mighty fine these days!
Thank you J family- for the great exchange! You made our day!!
(And science a whole lot more interesting!)
(I knew that was coming.)

What a great idea! There are so many more ways to connect and share now than when I was homeschooling. Your children look so fun!
awesome idea...I need to find someone to do this with!
That is so cool. You always come up with the neatest ideas!
Great exchange!
Just have to say that these photos brought back memories and my smile is soooo big right now!

I'm a sucker for such things. I have a whole cabinet full of things like shells, moss, birch bark, various pods, etc. My favorite Christmas present EVER was a box full of small lunch bags,each filled with a different kind of seed pod or bark or leaf. (my darling husband - what a creative guy!)
Miranda- in all fairness- it wasn't my idea. It was hosted by Ginny at the Small Things blog.
Anna Yager~ your husband sounds like such a thoughtful man. The best kind of gift is the one which thought is put in...
This is perhaps one of the most exciting things I've ever heard of!
If, you ever decide to do this again, please count me in!
