There's something about nature and plants that children love. The little ones touch the leaves, smell the leaves and pick a few from their favorite plant. We stay out there for a little while letting the sounds of nature fill our ears... birds chirping in the trees, leaves rustling in the wind.
Then we take our leaves back inside for a little wash, little chop, and they'll soon go onto the from-scratch pizza we make every Friday.
We cannot create observers by saying 'observe,' but by giving them the power and the means for this observation and these means are procured through education of the senses.
