But, with kids you never know what you'll get, which is one reason they are so much fun. @Kevin, I was surprised at the quality of the kids photos, considering they were preschoolers.

Certainly mixing creativity with the natural world is fantastic tool and will provide inspiration in many ways for the future.

I remember when my children were little and I'd take them on a hike. At first, they would grumble about it, but once we got there, they loved it. And I can't think of a better place to hike with children than Temescal Canyon. @David, I couldn’t agree more. I remember when my children were little and I’d take them on a hike.

Once a month, CNI educators, Blueberry teachers, parents and children embarked on an exploration of Temescal Canyon. This canyon became a classroom without walls; filled with places that fed our spirits, imaginations and souls. Through these dynamic experiences, nature came alive in the hands, hearts and minds of the children." Nothing affects and impresses children more that the opportunity for them to express their own creativity and voices at an early age. Excellent article.
