Preschool Nature Book Basics: Letters, Shapes, & Colors
These are my very favorite nature books that focus on letters, shapes, and colors. Because they center around traditional, developmentally age-appropriate preschooler topics, these books make welcome additions to most kidlet libraries (even in those families & schools where nature is not considered a high priority.)
beautiful compilation here...I am a waldorf inspired homecare provider until I complete my waldorf EC training...one fo the children I care for will be entering public kindergarten in the fall. at her parents request, I am teaching her to write her name and some other letter recognition skills, etc. These books will be perfect. i also have enjoyed the waldorf alphabet book, "LMNOP" pleased to meet you here in blogland:) http://bendingbirches2010.blogspot.com/2011/06/acsension-day.html
@ michelle: abc's naturally is my favorite, too! the photos are so amazing you could actually cut them out, frame them, and use them as wall decor.
@ debbie; thanks! that's such a supersweet thing to say.
@ bendingbirches: oh, i looove waldorf! the emphasis on nature, music, and storytelling is really special, and important i think, too.
@eleni: i'm glad i made you giggle ;) and i totally agree, the wildflower abc book is incredible. the potato is not only tasty when covered with butter and cheese... it's an art tool, too!
I love these books and will definitely find them for my daughter who will start school in September. I would love it if you linked up to my weekly meme,Book Sharing Monday. http://smilinglikesunshine1.blogspot.com/2011/07/book-sharing-mondaybackpack-baby.html
I've loved furry, winged, and finny critters for as far back as I can remember, and I've been working professionally with animals for over a decade. Besides having been a dog trainer, I'm also a naturalist at a nature center. I teach preschool there, and my mornings are spent doing importantly silly things like painting with pine needles and leading roly poly expeditions. I also run the nature center's art gallery, work part time at a natural history museum, substitute teach at local preschools, and lead seasonal ECE Art & Nature Workshops for a coastal land conservancy. My current creative outlet is making kooky, kitschy collage art and little craftsy girly things for my Etsy shop... (yay!) Though my schedule is always busy, it's also always fun! This site keeps friends, family, clients (& random curious visitors) connected with info, tips & positivity-infused musings of the (mostly) pup, planet, preschool, & princessy variety.

Ooh, I wouldn't mind a copy of the Wildflower ABC for myself!
I just found your blog via Skunkboy Creatures - I liked the comment you made about shorts being "failed pants" - made me giggle!
