Each aspect of the badge requires in-depth discussion of preparedness and what tool is most appropriate for the job, and where you could find such tools.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Please understand that your idea of My Nature Toolkit might be different than what I have presented here on the website. Geographical conditions, time of year, etc.; even things that might be relevant for your family, will help you make sound decisions based on your experience after you have completed the task a few times and get more comfortable with the subject matter. I will give an overview and present the most pertinent information to help you accomplish the task that you set out to do. I really want this to be a place for the novice to come and find a sort of blueprint to exploring the great outdoors with their children, family and friends.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Above all, I want to build your confidence and see you succeed because you have been offered the tools to do so. I think that many people would love to explore nature with their children, but are sometimes frightened because they don't know where to begin or even know who/how to ask for help. If I've posted something here about a particular subject and you have a stellar tip to pass on to the community, please do so in the comments. When you post a comment, please list it as such:</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #38761d;">Keeping tips organized will allow for a more fruitful discussion and top notch organization of useful facts and information. The more knowledge that we share with one another and pass on to our children, the more successful we will be when we set out to complete a task. Let us know how it went in the comments and good luck!</span></span></div>

I am a firm believer that we need to educate our children on how to properly identify mushrooms and understand what to do if they happen to encounter a mushroom on the trail or in a play area. We must have an open and honest dialogue with them on the dangers of improper identification in order to keep them safe and aware of their surroundings.</span></span></span></div>

While winter isn't the best time to find mushrooms, spring, summer and fall offer a colorful bounty of beautiful specimens for your child to study and explore. Certain animals and insects that might not be found in Winter and Spring, but are prevalent in the summer and fall months. (Think snakes, mosquitos, bears, cougars, spiders; just to name a few.)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My earliest experience as a child when it came to wild mushrooms was, "Under no circumstances, should you ever touch or eat a wild mushroom." As I grew older, that stayed with me and I found myself telling my children that same old tired line as well. This was mainly because I hadn't done enough research and had no confidence in the subject matter to lend any other reasonable explanation. Truthfully, I really think that it is because I want to keep them safe if they were alone and encountered something poisonous and they would be safer if they just didn't touch it. *I also didn't want to be the Mom who inadvertently poisoned her children because they handled and accidently ingested an </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Amanita bisporigera</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, better known as the Destroying Angel.*</span></span></div>

I would often run through the many acres of woods behind my Grandmother's house and jump on puff balls and watch the spores waft across the air, kick mushroom caps off of their stems, and relish in any new discoveries that a fresh fall rain brought. But that changed one day early this year in May when I encountered something totally new and exciting.</span></span></div>

The cool mornings always gave way to warm sunny days and again to cooler nights. The air smelled earthy and Mother Nature was starting to show her beauty; small shoots were reaching towards the sky from under dead leaf litter and squirrels and chipmunks scurried beneath the forest floor in search of black walnuts. I was always so thankful (even while I winced in pain from being so out of shape) to witness those little changes on a daily basis.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One day, I was photographing a beautiful patch of lily of the valley (toxic/non-edible) that was growing on the hillside, and following them along the steep trail. As I went to put my phone away, I stopped in my tracks. I turn my head and looked down and next to a dead tree, amongst a few dandelions (edible), I encountered a mushroom that I'd never seen before in person, and immediately knew what it was; a Morel (</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Morchella esculenta</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">). I composed myself and then look up to see about 20 more scattered amongst the wood chips, blending in just enough, to make them inconspicuous to the average passerby. I was stunned. I had stumbled on one of the most choice edibles in the wild and there wasn't another person in sight.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I quickly turned my running jacket into a makeshift carrying sack and pinched each tan stalk, just at the base, right above the wood chips and gave a small shake for spore dispersal. I was euphoric; one and then three more, so many Morels were going into my jacket. I felt like a small child finding easter eggs on a perfect spring morning, so I hurried back to my Jeep Wrangler to call my husband to tell him what I'd found. He was a bit leary and unsure, because he was raised just like I was when it came to wild mushrooms; "You can look, but don't touch, and most certainly not eat." I knew I needed a reference to convince him (as well as myself), so I stopped by the local bookstore on my way home and picked-up</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mushrooms-Upper-Midwest-Simple-Mushroom/dp/1591934176/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1535832335&sr=8-1&keywords=Mushrooms+of+the+Upper+Midwest+by+Teresa+Marrone+and+Kathy+Yerich" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt; white-space: pre;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mushrooms of the Upper Midwest</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Teresa Marrone and Kathy Yerich</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This fantastic book has been my go-to guide for hunting wild mushrooms. The pictures are wonderful and the information is clear and not too technical. Perfect for the novice mushroom hunter like myself.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Scanning the index, I finally found the section on Morels and proceeded to read on and learn why they were so special. Morels are only around for 3, maybe 4 weeks out of the year in the spring. I also learned that coveted Morel hunting grounds are passed down from generation to generation and are a well kept secret within families. Because Morels are mycorrhizal, meaning they often grown in a symbiotic relationship with trees (typically found around trees that have died, especially elm but also cottonwood; sometimes old fruit orchards), they typically come back in the same place season after season. On the open market, Morel mushrooms go for upwards of $35.00 a pound in farmers markets (fresh) or in grocery stores (dehydrated) for $25.00 an ounce.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After I confirmed that my finds were indeed Morels (completely hollow inside) and not </span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Verpas spp.</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> or the toxic False Morel (</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gyromitra spp</span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.), I soaked them to remove any bugs or spiders that might have made themselves a home. It has been said that if you water your garden with the water you used to soak the morels in, you might get lucky enough to have a few spores produce Morels the next year. So, I proceeded to water my flower box with the slurry and *fingers crossed* hope for Morels next spring. A girl can dream, amiright?!</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That night I cleaned and pan-seared the Morels in butter, salt, and fresh garlic -- all four of us were hooked. The meaty texture was unlike anything my husband and I had ever tasted in our lives. The girls couldn't believe how different they were from the grocery store variety and were fascinated by the almost brain-like pitted texture of the cap, poking their tiny fingers in the holes and giggling with excitement. How many other delicious wild edibles had I avoided over 30+ years of my life because I feared death or just a really upset digestive tract? So, I broke out my</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nesco-FD-61WHC-Snackmaster-Express-Dehydrator/dp/B0002WSQHU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1535832415&sr=8-3&keywords=nesco+american+harvest+dehydrator" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 17pt; white-space: pre;"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Nesco dehydrator</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, split what we had left over, dehydrated on the lowest setting overnight, and put them in a large Mason jar with food-grade silica gel packs.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">After that day, I have been on a mission to find out all that I can about wild mushrooms, even the toxic ones. The way I see it is like this, our children look to us for guidance and when they see how passionate we are about whatever in life makes us happy, they naturally want to take part. My girls will now stop and want to know more about the mushroom they are looking at and they are 3 and 5. I've found that they are the perfect size for hunting mushrooms because, naturally, they are just so close to the ground. I'll break out my book and we'll talk about it. I love to see the passion that they have for wild mushrooms when we are on the trail. These moments will stay with me, as treasured memories of their eagerness to connect with something that we share in as a family.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 10.5pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So here we are. I have been researching this issue #5 for the past few months and have learned so much. I decided that it was time to dig deep, put all of my knowledge out there, so other families might want to learn more about the magical and mysterious world of mushrooms. I've extended the deadlines for submission and want everyone to get ready for what fall has to bring.

Please understand that this learning process is not about edible mushrooms and how to find them. I want you and your family to learn about all the different types of mushrooms in your area, so you can properly identify specimens when you are out with your children or just by yourself. As the old saying goes, "Live for the Hunt". Tell yourself and children that and you'll stay grounded and focused on finding the answers that you're looking for when attempting to identify an edible species that might actually be a toxic look alike.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Monarch butterflies are something that I never really considered until I was at the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.zoosociety.org/Education/FunStuff/Butterfly/&source=gmail&ust=1517452569778000&usg=AFQjCNG8m3P8qZIGE3Gdarv163UEbNOjRA" href="http://www.zoosociety.org/Education/FunStuff/Butterfly/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Milwaukee County Zoo</a> with my family. <br /><br />The Zoo has two very beautiful butterfly gardens full of flowers and native plants.

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />I've included a nature craft activity, My Nature Press which goes with hand in hand with My Butterfly-sun catcher, which will require dried flowers.

<div style="text-align: left;">
When searching for information about Red Fox anatomy, I found myself wanting more. It seems that there are just not that many kid friendly anatomy charts available with information pertaining to tracking and anatomy together. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Originally, I was just going to do a simple exercise where your child could just cut out the template and glue on the cotton swabs, but I decided that I had to set the bar pretty high and create something that truly captured the biological make-up of the Red Fox and a bit of Bushcraft. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I just want to say that I just adore Bushcraft and I am always underwhelmed when I search for illustrated explanations of topics that I want to explore further. Tracking is important to understanding the habits and Biology of the Red Fox and other animals. This information helps your child connect with the subject matter and explore further when they are immersed in the forest school environment.</div>

<ul>
<li>School Glue</li>
<li>Scissors</li>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. It will be beneficial to staple the Cotton Swab Fox Anatomy TEMPLATE to your child's piece of black construction paper. Do not staple inside of the fox template, but in a few places around the side. Your child will now be able to cut easily around the temple. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnkW1-u6Hk1gt1g0hjxTHlkdBp5ebgfseYWzTqn3SmUnS9dHYuOxvMhwnxk8O7Fg8VlNNdK9r5CVOhqQoT0c7pgs5PrPzvf459YR6PBHv2RxwGMOPHXkeTJ6GUw5xFRW5cWVoVS1egfI/s1600/IMG_0458.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnkW1-u6Hk1gt1g0hjxTHlkdBp5ebgfseYWzTqn3SmUnS9dHYuOxvMhwnxk8O7Fg8VlNNdK9r5CVOhqQoT0c7pgs5PrPzvf459YR6PBHv2RxwGMOPHXkeTJ6GUw5xFRW5cWVoVS1egfI/s640/IMG_0458.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. After your child has cut out the fox from the template, they will have two foxes; one will be the construction paper fox and the other will be the blank. Your child can discard the blank, or color and share with a friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Have your child glue their construction paper fox to their lighter colored construction paper, preferably in the center. They will want to leave a bit of room to add the tags and maybe draw a neat scene after the project. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Now you and your child will need to decide if they want to do the beginner version of the anatomy or the more advanced. The more advanced anatomy is higher level (ages 10+), but I think with your guidance, you can really start to teach your child a bit of proper terminology + Biology.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3iHRhqQmlJiVqtIhrc-pRjJvGcDSKLabR60jvOpDaiTshsI0iWPdo8IMPhfN5I6M9bjV5Qr8rR2JcFMn7HfDZtGvKnPEQ-3m00FN2EEbMpCcz8siNTULjH7zQxwVVnSLcm5zpulJCGxI/s1600/IMG_0470.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3iHRhqQmlJiVqtIhrc-pRjJvGcDSKLabR60jvOpDaiTshsI0iWPdo8IMPhfN5I6M9bjV5Qr8rR2JcFMn7HfDZtGvKnPEQ-3m00FN2EEbMpCcz8siNTULjH7zQxwVVnSLcm5zpulJCGxI/s640/IMG_0470.jpg" width="562" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Lastly, depending on the age of your child, you might want to cut different sizes of cotton swabs, so they can just jump right into the activity and explore the skeleton. Larger parts of the swabs together make great skulls and pelvis, while the smaller sticks are great for the ribs and bones. You can also bend the whole swabs different ways to re-create the spine, tail, and neck. However your child decides to approach the activity, encourage exploration and talk with them about how the skeleton is the framework of the Fox and without it, the fox couldn't run, jump, or play, just like them. </div>

<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">I have big news for you, Treehouse Family! </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We were treated to a very special surprise at the </span><a href="http://www.milwaukeezoo.org/" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Milwaukee County Zoo</a><span style="font-size: large;"> after my daughters zoo class. While we were finishing our class at the reindeer exhibit, we saw a familiar face talking with the Zookeepers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Santa Clause seemed to be a bit distraught. Three of his reindeer were sick and he needed three strong reindeer to help pull his sleigh. Ms. Colette, the reindeer's Zookeeper, had no problem allowing the reindeer to go out for Santa's big run. Santa's only request was that we needed to leave reindeer food. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought how I could help and remembered that Gingerbread House was our new way to cook food and share recipes with our family. It's an easy recipe and really tasty too! So, please make the reindeer food for the three reindeer pulling Santa's sleigh from the Milwaukee County Zoo. It's up to you to help keep them strong for the big journey, Treehouse Family!</span></div>

My Nature Wand is a great activity for ages 0-12, because it allows for all children to take an active part in the process. Older children feel empowered to gather all of the materials and follow the illustrated instructions, while the younger children just love playing with the bubbles. Everyone benefits from the shared time together through creativity and problem-solving.<br />
<br />
In our Critter Corner, you see that the ground squirrel is the featured animal of the week. At Treehouse, we tailor the weeks activities to what you as a family might see with the changing of the seasons. I encourage you to call up a few friends for a play date and have some fun with the scavenger hunt! These activities are so much more enriching to the learning process if other children are learning together.<br />
<br />
To download project sheets and print at home: Right-click the image, download as a JPEG and save to your desktop. Please note that most printers are not borderless, so you might have to cut around the edge to remove that annoying white border. So, print out your project/parent sheets and get outside!<br />

I know not everyone is a fan of spiders, but it is important to educate kids that spiders are essential to our ecosystem and without them, the natural order and hierarchy would be in jeopardy. I decided that the Orb-Weaver was our critter this week, so you can share a few fun facts with your child from the parent sheet.<br />
<br />
After you have gathered all of your materials for the Spider-mobile project and before your little ones go to assemble this weeks project, play the Montessori-inspired game, My Spider Eyes. This game is a great exercise for little one's who are just learning to count. I have provided the word and also small circles, so you and your child can "see" what two looks like, as well as sounding out the word.<br />
<br />
As for the Spider Mobile project, I have added pine cone weaving in step one because it is an amazing activity for smaller children; it really works on those fine motor skills!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the month of October we studied owls. We dissected an owl pellet in our </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/133524493932918" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Facebook classroom</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and I did a </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pg/treehouseforestschool/videos" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">LIVE Facebook demo</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">: My Great Horned Bark Owl for our nature craft project. Unfortunately, my work schedule was a bit hectic with three large projects for </span><a href="http://www.kiwico.com/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Kiwico</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, and as a result, the owls issue was rather small. My apologies to many of you who were hoping for more projects and live video tutorials.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Our Facebook classroom (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/133524493932918/" target="_blank">Treehouse Nature School</a>) will be the hands-on space to share ideas and a special place where kids can share what they have created. When I was thinking of how I wanted to reach out to the community with my ideas, I knew that I wanted Treehouse magazine to be very child-centered. Each month I will share art and ideas from our "students" from Treehouse Nature School in that particular issue of the magazine.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lastly, I will be introducing Team Treehouse. Team Treehouse is a family that has gone above and beyond in our classroom setting and has injected their inspiration and creativity into all projects and subject matter for that month. They are an awesome team and should be recognized. So, the family that has interacted with the magazine the most that month will get their own illustrated full page spread in that issue of Treehouse Magazine complete with stats and a half-page gallery devoted to their artwork and projects. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As always, a big thank you to everyone that has offered ideas and solutions during the early stages of this journey. I am so happy that Treehouse has brought so many people from so many different cultures together to share in our love of nature and our children. You all truly make Treehouse an outstanding community to be apart of.</span></div>
