Tips for Outdoor Loose Parts?

[Gemma]

I literally must spend 15 minutes each morning, before kids arrival, raking up any dropped pine cones, twigs, acorns, pine needles ...

I find this to be wrong on so many level!

I can understand that acorns could be a choking hazard, but com'on ...pinecones? pine needles? what's the harm in that?
I have Pine trees, Oak trees and all that and one of the most entertaining game my DCKs play, is to collect pinecones, line them up on a ledge and spray them down with a water bottle. I don't see why that should not be allowed

I don't know how you keep up with it all :hug:
