Materials needed: Any natural object. (real flowers, real shells, real plant, real leaves, real animal, real rocks, etc.)
Procedure: Bring in something natural that you, the teacher, think is beautiful. Bring the students to the rug and talk about the object. Boys and girls, I want you to look at this object. Do you think this object is beautiful? Why/Why not? How does this object make you feel? How does it add to your life? What do you like about the object? What do you dislike about the object? Why? Be enthusiastic about the object and its beauty.
Extension: Give children the option to pick their own object and ponder its beauty for several days. Then gather them together to discuss their experience or feelings about the beautiful object. Have them draw about it.
Adaptation: Talk to the children one on one about the object. If they are not sure about their feelings toward the object or its beauty, talk about what they do know about the object and work from there. Have you seen this before? Have you touched it, played with it, or used it?
