Nature’s Valentines
2009 February 13
We went on a scavenger hunt today….for hearts created by nature. Some hearts were created by us too.
Do you see the little heart shaped lichen here?
We couldn’t resist putting our Christmas cranberries left for the birds into the shape of a heart.
R made a heart of sticks…….
A chipmunk left this one behind….
F found these three made out of leaves…..
A little tree stump seat in the ladies’ fairy cottage…..
We call rocks shaped in a heart fairy money….
A made this heart out of pinecones…..
A fluffy heart made of seeds……
F made a heart using the shadow of her hands…….
A wanted to look through her hand heart…..
The ladies send Happy Valentine’s Wishes (while munching on white pine needles).
Happy Valentine’s Day!!!!
Thank you so much for these wonderful ideas! I am searching for ideas for our nature club (made up of students from k-3 through 5th grade) and I believe that this will hold the attention of all of the different ages!
This is so totally awesome!You could make a poster out of those photos – I would love a poster with nature hearts on my wall
I’ll be your first customer.
What a wonderful Valentine’s Day activity!
LOVE your hearts in nature shots!
Wonderful images of nature’s valentines. You all have very keen eyes to pick out some of those, especially the lichen.
I am eager to try this with my family.
Oh I love how nature provides if we look hard enough….those are the most beautiful heart shapes of all! Gorgeous hunting.
So fun!
A brilliant idea.
The nature’s valentine’s are lovely.
We just spent the afternoon out in the woods counting birds for National Backyard Bird Count weekend. I so wish I had seen this post before we left. It would have been so fun to add this idea to our days adventure. Next year!
Nature is so beautiful…
This was a lovely idea and a lovely post. Thank you so much for sharing it with all of us.
I think the lichen is my favorite too!
Those of you looking for hearts today…happy hunting!
This is officially my favorite post of the week! Thank you! I especially love the lichen heart!
How inspirational! We are going to try this tomorrow. Thank you for sharing.
What a great idea!
It was nice and we had a beautiful day to do this! I loved this activity because the girls really had to look hard to find the hearts!
Beautiful idea, I think we will do the same thing tomorrow!
Happy Valentine’s Day
This is an incredibly wonderful idea! I have been wondering what to do tomorrow but now I know; we are going on a walk to look for natures hearts! Thank you, Lisa.
