We love sticks. When the big fig tree near our driveway was cut down I managed to keep a few of the branches for the girls to build with. It was lots of fun seeing where their ideas led.

I really struggle to step back and let them lead, I feel like I need to entertain or stimulate them constantly even though I know that’s actually bad. So when I make myself I need to celebrate it! I remember havinga ball with sticks as a child, and the big girl specifically asked to collect the small stick the other day, so it was a perfect opportunity to let them go for it.

How creative. I love it. Gorgeous photos too. Wouldn’t worry about using the stick for fighting, Mom. That’s instinct, and hopefully they’ll never have to use it, but since attackers come in all sizes and in all places, some day they may need to swing an umbrella at a large dog, or a flashlight at a mugger.

Good point, in fact better than you know. The camp dogs where we live are very nasty, some areas you have to walk with a big stick or handful of stones.

Have a great Thursday!

I enjoyed this. The only other use I could come up with was poking out an eye, which I certainly would not want to happen!

When I was about their age I used a stick to spank a tree and scared out a snake!

What a great topic and something fun for the kids to do, too. It could be a musical instrument since it makes different sounds when hitting different things.

How creative. Turn it over to the children, they are way more creative then we are.

This type of experience, where the child thinks of as many interpretations of one object as possible, is fantastic as a brain training activity. Love the ideas your girls came up with, they are so very clever.
