Scaled-down Autumn Nature 'Table'

We have grappling for a little while here with the issue of the 'nature table' in the Waldorf tradition.  We have been trying to maintain its tradition in our house, but it's placement has been problematic.


Our winter table and spring table were both in the basement... they looked nice, but we don't really go down there too often, so the purpose was rather defeated.  If I placed the nature table on a surface in our upstairs living/play area, it was simply dismantled and played with. 


Here's our Autumnal solution, a scaled-down nature display on our dining table.

Looks great with the autumn trees...

... and this morning, there were a few visitors for a morning pre-hibernation feast.

In addition, Boo has a whole box of conkers, dried leaves and fir cones to make use of in her play, with which she seems most contented.
