Imagination: A key ingredient

This year it is horses, little plastic ones, and each of the kids has one or more in her care. Every horse has a name, and a home in the forest AND a boat to go to sea in! In the picture Hanna is showing me her horses' home, and the boat she made herself. The horses have just come in from a boat ride, and are still in their corrals on the boat.

Under the Main House is a long work bench and a hundred years' worth of accumulated tools. The work bench was not built for little girls and boys, so stools are in order to enable the hammering and sawing necessary. Some parent always seems to be available to guide the little carpenters in their boat building endeavors. The boats are very creative! Love, Liz
