Happy November! We’re winding down our last session of this year – the Senses – and we’ve had a lot of fun smelling, touching, seeing, and hearing the world around us. As I was telling one Mom at the last class, it’s a nice reminder for us grown-ups as well to use all our senses when we go on a walk! Sometimes we get wrapped up in our own thinking that we forget to enjoy the world around us. 

A couple people forwarded me an interesting article this month that I would like to share: SF Gate article. The article is about the importance of outdoor education and many of the ideas cited in the article is what prompted me to start Nature Tots in the first place.

In this month of giving thanks I’d like to give special thanks to everyone who has been so supportive and helpful in this first year that I have started this venture. We went from 0 to over 70 people on our mailing list within a couple months and growing every day! If you know someone who you think would be interested in getting on the mailing list and receiving the newsletter on a monthly basis, feel free to forward it on or pass on their email and I will add them to the list (with their permission). Hope you have a happy Thanksgiving and hope to see you outdoors!
