The Enchanted Forest: From the Trees
Today was our second prototyping experience with children. Our play pocket encompassed an "Enchanted Forest," containing very old talking trees! We placed our pocket in a clearing containing several dogwoods-- the largest we've ever seen! The space was naturally magical already, so we did little work to it besides clear low brush and thorny vines, and remove Poison Ivy.

| When the visitors met Will and Assir (some of the talking trees) they interpreted the voice of his tree stump friend: his birthday was today! They sang happy birthday and even counted the rings to see how old he was! |
 |
| Assir and our friend reading a sign pointing them down another trail. It says HELP! |
 |
| The children met Mother Tree (a HUGE 4-trunked dogwood, and Molly), who told them the little known fact that trees actually need children to play with them to live! They also found a swing! |
