on doing stuff

I hear, I forget. I see, I remember. I do, I understand.--Chinese proverb

I'm feeling more positive about doing stuff with the children- it seems to be what they want and what works well with all of us and I feel that they can learn so much from doing things. I suppose a lot of it is making stuff, but it is the doing that's more mportant than the end result. The paper making has been going well, and seems to have inspired a lot of questions and other creative activity- being creative just feeds more creative energy. The tactile experience of this kind of activity is quite unique. I'm sure it promotes a deeper understanding of the world around us and to not take things for granted.
