Wooden Play Clips: DIY Fort

First to recommend

Description

These wooden clips (think over-sized clothespins) are pure genius! They make 'fort' building easy as pie for all ages. Simply clip your blanket, flat sheet or other fabric to the kitchen chair, a tree branch or clothesline. The possibilities are endless but, more so with a set of four.

Enchanted Garden Door

First to recommend

Description

In early 2008, we awoke on a spring morning and found a small visitor had taken up residence in our hackberry tree. The appearance of the little door and stone pathway brought curious children to the garden all summer long. We found seashells filled with berries at the doorstep, acorns and even wee flowers. This little wooden door brings a whole lot of magic... if you believe!

FAIRY HOUSES ... EVERYWHERE! by Barry & Tracy Kane

First to recommend

Description

Entertaining enough as a picture book (for boys or girls), but your child's view of the outdoors might never be the same. Pinecones, twigs, and acorn tops are transformed into charming cottages and retreats for wee folk and captured in beautiful photographs.

Child's Jump Rope

First to recommend

Description

Sure it's great exercise and improves coordination but, for kids, a jump rope can transform into firehouse or a wrestling snake. Every outdoor toy chest should have one good jump rope.

Rope Ladder

First to recommend

Description

If you're thinking about adding a swing to the mighty oak, why not add a ladder too? After all, pirates have to scan the seas and monkeys need to climb the trees.

Child's Wood Bird Call

First to recommend

Description

Birdwatching, city or forest, is an opportunity to encourage patience and improve observation skills for little ones. Need to attract a bird or two? Well, this handy little wooden bird whistle is designed just for the smaller set. Partner this call with a laminated bird identification chart for your region and a pair of binoculars and you've got a budding scientist. If they really enjoy birdwatching, help them report their observations to the Lab of Orinthology at Cornell University: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/netcommunity/Page.aspx?pid=708
