Welcome to Singing Cicadas!

I created this blog to share my ideas on nurturing a child's sense of wonder through the creative arts and exploration in nature. I plan to regularly upload ideas and activities for parents and educators to implement at home and in school. I wholeheartedly believe that a child's natural curiosity is her greatest gift and it should be nurtured and developed. As a child grows, they should not grow less curious in the world like so many seem to do. We desperately need more innovators and problem solvers in our world today. It is my belief that if we work together to encourage creative and critical thinking in our children we will see a generation of true leaders come to age.
