Hi Victoria! Thanks for offering this great workshop. I wanted to share a few ideas.

For the Colors in Nature, if kids are doing this at home you could have them mix their own paint color and paint a swatch of it on a slip of paper, and then walk around in nature to see if they can match their color. We have done this in the Spring when all the new greens are popping up, but it would be lovely in the other seasons and with other colors as well.

For organizing the kits, this seems like the perfect use of those plastic zippered pouches that sheet sets and mattress pads come in! They have those little pockets in the front with a card with the size of the sheets… so just flip the card around and write the name of the kit on the blank back side. I’ve been saving these for such a long time trying to figure out what to do with them, so thank you for the inspiration!

For every child having a magnifying glass all the time, we are using the jeweler’s loupes from The Private Eye curriculum. They come on lanyards so kids can just wear them as needed and then put them away with their personal school things at the end of the day. Very handy. http://the-private-eye.com/index.html
