We now have cornhusks and some small pumpkins and gourds that aren't pictured here.

You have a great eye for placement! Looks like a catalog!

Oh I love when we all get to peak at each others nature tables -- I get some inspiration this way!
Here is OURS!

[henny penny]

boatbaby, is the book on your nature table Elsa Beskow's Around the Year? I've been thinking of getting that one lately......

We have a "nature windowsill" and on it are some favorite twigs, pressed leaves in green, yellow, and red, and some mama/tot felted wool acorns with real caps, and corn husks from our field. Sweet! I want to add some miniature hand-tied round haybales since that is a big part of our autumn.

[boatbaby]

Yes that is Around The Year. DS likes reading the poems with me for each month and gets all excited about it when it's time to turn to a new one. So we keep it as a back drop to our nature table... it wedges in nicely under the windows we have there aft of the mast.

Then we keep a seasonal book basket next to the nature table as well which has worked out well for our family too.

I am officially addicted to felting little acorns. All of those acorns in that bowl -- my goal is to make a felt nut for them all by Halloween and make them part of the party favors for the harvest celebration we're having for DS's friends.
I am out of control!

Well part of our nature table bit the dust. DD (18 months) managed to pull down a candle in glass. SHattered glass was everywhere. We managed to get it cleaned up before anyone got hurt.

Boatbaby, what sort of acorn caps are they? they are completely different from the ones we have in the UK they look so nice!

Everyones tables look so nice. Only just started changing our table. I waxdipped the autumn leaves we collected yesterday and they should be good to go into the basket on our table now

Ours is on the mantle. Give the age of my two it isn't something we play with per se. Although, both kids love adding to it.

So pretty- I will ask dd to set ours up this week, once we get a chance to collect nuts and things. I have a mini altar that I set up for myself. This will be dd's first nature table.
