Not a Stick…

Written by Heather Haupt 3 Comments

This little book inspires countless outdoor adventures.  All you need is a stick!

Sticks + Imagination = Ample Outdoor Adventures Sticks + Imagination = Ample Outdoor Adventures Sticks (or in this case PVC pipes) + Imagination = Ample Outdoor Adventures

We love finding a fun book that inspires outdoor explorations.  This last week we read, Not a Stick.  The boys were laughing and enthralled with guessing what this cute character was making his stick into next using the magic of the imagination.  When we were done, the boys were sad to see that it was a library book and promptly declared that we needed to add this book to our permanent collection.  Because we loved it so much, we are eager to check out his other book, Not a Box next!

A stick, the great outdoors and a child’s imagination are all the ingredients you need for a beautiful adventure!  In our case pvc pipes work well too!

How do your kids play with sticks?

The boys are busy having outdoor and indoor adventures with the grandparents this weekend while Rich and I are at the Arizona Homeschool Convention!  I’m excited to share more of our Nature Mapping adventures next week!

Have you had any fun, creative or even beautifully ordinary adventures outdoors lately.  Link up so the rest of us can gather fresh inspiration to spend time each and every day OUTSIDE!
