The Nature Corner: Celebrating the year's cycle with seasonal tableaux

Seasonal nature tables are an invaluable way of making children aware of the changing cycle of the year.
 
With simple materials, and basic knitting and crocheting skills, a series of colorful and effective tableaux can be made at home or in school for depicting the seasons and major festivals.
 
Instructions and diagrams are provided for making the figures and objects, along with basic tips for setting up the table and involving children.
 
Each of the eleven tableaux is illustrated in full color.
