I'm really loving your responses and yes, a knitted seal would be awesome for your little guy - seals are so darn cute with their big eyes!<br /><br />Christine - what a lovely poem! I will email you later, but I read your Valentine's Day story to my group today and it was a huge hit! The mothers were asking me if you have a book out! And they aren't *waldorf* moms ~ I tell ya, you appeal to the masses! They were quite simply blown away...<br /><br />Jennifer - I can imagine you as a little girl exploring the tidepools with such wonder. You are so connected to nature :D Thanks for dropping by here!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272157134061700589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-62305160840905374982010-02-11T18:02:45.670-08:002010-02-11T18:02:45.670-08:00Fabulous, Jen.

I loved collection shells and learning their names.<br /><br />Here's a suggestion, if it's not too advanced science. What about setting up a simple distilling process and turning the salt water back into drinkable water? It would show how the water leaves everything else behind when it evaporates and how maybe some day, people will find an effective way to create desalinization plants to provide fresh water where needed.<br /><br />I have a Folkmanis puppet, too. Jacky the Squirrel. : )<br /><br />Here is a little poem that might apply to your water block. It is actually the very first one I wrote!<br /><br />Mist<br /><br />I know<br />What it is like<br />To feel the warmth of the water<br />Against the sting of the night air.<br />To rise up<br /> In small spirals,<br />Or to lie<br /> Still - Calm - Silent<br /><br />I know<br />What it is like<br />To be so large and heavy<br />That I fill a whole city<br />And overflow into small towns<br /> Around it.<br /><br />I know<br />What it is like<br />To be so very light <br />And little<br />That no one would ever know<br /> I<br /> Was about<br /><br />Sometimes I bring a rain.<br />They know that I am.<br />Sometimes I lie so still<br />That I can creep <br />Into their minds and<br />Read - Absorb - Understand<br />And they do not know <br /> I know.<br /><br />Christine NataleChristine Natalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229816325785606031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-4450423458679264682010-02-11T06:19:08.120-08:002010-02-11T06:19:08.120-08:00I love it!!
