The book I am reading at the moment: You Are Your Child's First Teacher, by Rahima Baldwin Dancy, recommends that young children come to know the ancient elements of earth, air, fire and water, through their play in the natural world. This summer I have been observing Beth's enthusiasm for both earth (dirt/sand in the garden, the beach) and water in the paddling pool and on rainy days. What joy to splash and stamp in a dirty puddle!
