The beginnings of a Summer Nature Table, a place to play out stories and keep the special things the little ones bring home from our nature walks.
A waterfall in the corner of the Nature Table turns into a playsilk river which runs past a meadow of crochet flowers while Mother Earth watches over the table.
The river turns into a beach full of our favourite beach finds: Seashells, seaglass and driftwood as well as some shiny glass marbles.
Eventually the river ends as a pond surrounded by playsilk grass next to a tiny fairy house.
I can’t wait to see how this Nature Table will change during the next months, I love seeing the little ones rearrange it, add things and use it during their games.
Do you have a nature table in your home? Here is a brief Waldorf Nature Table How To to help you get started!
Have a beautiful day!

What a wonderful table – we are just starting ours and at the moment we have a “tray” with our finds on but it’s growing by the day so will have to expand. Off to read your How to to get some inspiration.
Thank you! I’d love to see your finished Nature Table!
Clever cool idea. The kids must love this. The have their own lil treasure.
Thank you! They do like it a lot, and it’s a good place to keep all those bits!
What a beautiful nature table! I think my son would love bringing in his nature treasures to keeping in a place where he can revisit and play with them! I would love for you to share this idea with our All Year Round Blog Carnival for Summer! http://famigliaandseoul.blogspot.com/2012/05/all-year-round-blog-carnival-summer.html
