Every so often OM ask that DD head out and learn the names of different plants. She's pretty good at this.
Some one once said to me that most children of today can name something like 100 brands while on TV but not 5 plants.
While I can't say that my kids know 100 plants they really have no idea on brands as we don't have TV...lol
We are very lucky here to have access to lots of plants. We often walk to our local waterfall which is through native bush...beautiful!
We may take a step further with plants as DS is very concerned about how toxic plants are...I think its something he picked up while at Playcentre and the whole Deadly Nightshade thing with the teacher there. He will often run to tell me that there is a plant somewhere and that a child has touched it.
