How to play
Before you start: Cut a square out of the middle of a piece of card to make a frame, and tape a loop of tape sticky-side-out across the hole.
Take the frame outside and go for a slow walk.
Anything small and beautiful gets pressed onto the sticky window: petals, seeds, tiny leaves.
Keep going until the whole window is covered.
Hold it up to the light on the way home and look through it.
Stick it on a window at home where the sun comes through.
Keep it safe
- Agree the rule first: we look at berries and mushrooms, we do not pick or taste them.
- Wash hands when you get home.
Make it different next time
- Collect only one color.
- Use the magnifying glass to look closely before choosing each piece.
Cleanup: Nothing — it becomes a window decoration.
