We spent a perfect weather day on the beach of Lake Erie. It was very therapeutic to feel the sand, sea glass and stones beneath weary feet. The swishing, washing and rhythmic back and forth of the waves was mesmerizing. It all started out with a rock skipping lesson from father to son (VERY serious work) and bloomed into the beginning of a "collection".
This was the final product:
There was the cleaning, sorting and the selecting process, all happily done by B when we got home. This meaningful work gave him the chance to be useful and creative simultaneously, it was a perfect end to our family beach day.

Have you started any collections with your toddler?
