Exploring Nature with your child is largely a matter of becoming receptive to what lies around you. It is learning again to use your eyes, ears, nostrils and finger tips, opening up to the disused channels of sensory expression."

- Rachel Carson, A Sense of Wonder

The Little Plant Finger Plays by Kate Louise Brown

In the heart of a seed buried deep so deep,	Begin by couching
A dear litte plant lay fast asleep.	Make sleeping gesture with palms together
"Wake" said the Sunshine, "and creep to the light!"	Open eyes, look surprised
"Wake!" Said the voice of the raindrops bright.	Put hand to ear
And the little plant heard and rose to see,	Rise slowly- stretch arms upward
What the wonderful outside world might be.	Stand on tiptoes, turn in place
