Feel the wood, recognize shapes, let ideas grow
The children carve exciting, funny, beautiful, and useful things from what they find. A stick might turn into a forest creature, a mushroom, a magic wand, or a hand comforter. In the process, they learn basic carving techniques and discover various woods with all their senses. This strengthens fine motor skills, concentration, and a mindful approach to natural materials.
