The children understand that decorations are used to make things beautiful, but can they be helpful?
In the story the Night Tree a family goes to the forest every year and decorates a tree with edible decorations for the animals to eat.
The children discussed the animals that live in our forest. I let them know that it can be difficult for animals to find food in the winter because things aren't growing. Alan commented on how there are no more blackberries and we have to wait until next year. I asked the children if they'd like to make edible decorations for the animals in our forest and I received a resounding "YES!"

The children carefully made popcorn strings and nibbled while they worked.
We will continue this project tomorrow.
