We discussed, and drew from tree inspired items. One student brought in a sunflower, and my Dd brought in some oak leaves with some acorns attached to it. Our first class was on Insects and I brought in a large glass jar of caterpillars, and some 'trays' of dead insects that I've preserved nicely over the years of many varieties of insects. I will try to do a post on the trays for that class later.
Here are a few pictures I took of the specimens I prepared the night before to take in to the class. I had about 5 tables set up, with 4-7 different trays full of different nature things available for them to draw, touch, see, smell, etc. I also brought in 2 different praying mantis's and they stole the show at one point (deciding during my lecture was a perfect time to eat off a grasshoppers head!)

You have such an eye for this! What a gift from God!
