Working on a new kind of Tree House: "Tree Town"

With loving adoration we completed our paper mache tree house a few weeks back and have since maintained interest in the idea of "tree house." Considering this, Jen thoughtfully provided the children with a stunning stump with three limbs. We started with an approach using clay during our outdoor time yesterday. Moving on from that we found that the children were investing their energy into adding dimension and depth to the branch, in efforts to construct a tree house, using construction materials. It turns out that making roads to the tree house is also part of what is important to the children relative to their overall investment and interest in the making it.
