We have a set of bowls that we call Wonder Bowls.
What are Wonder Bowls, you ask??? I’m so glad you did.
Each child has one and they are a place to collect little treasures found throughout the day/week. They can be emptied at the end of each day {especially if your child is very small….they will fill them up quickly!}; or at the end of each week. You can go through each bowl and talk about what treasures they have found. We keep them in a central location in our home….and Iove to check on them periodically to see what has been added. I can tell whose bowl is whose just by looking at what’s inside. 
Now that our children are teenagers the bowls don’t fill up quite as fast….but they do still fill up; and it’s neat to see what unique little things everyone has come across.
I like to add to them to see if they notice.
It’s a great way to be intentional about always keeping your eye out for what is a treasure, a Godwink, or just something good.
Now, one rule: you can’t take something out of someone else’s Wonder Bowl and put it in yours! 
That wouldn’t be WONDERful.
I hope your weekend is full of fun and wonder~

What a sweet idea!
My children are always bringing me little treasures that they have found. Having a special place to put them is a brilliant idea.
It is so fun to see what they collect and see as a treasure. I love it!
I don’t have a Wonder bowl….I have a Wonder HOUSE! Maybe I should downsize…..
Hahahahahaha! Love this!
That’s a great idea! my little boy is getting to the age where he is starting to find little treasures outside.
How fun! He would love them.
What a lovely tradition!
It’s a lot of fun….you never know what is going to be put inside….
This is a great idea for a family tradition. Thanks for sharing on Simple & Sweet Fridays!

Wow! That’s very clever – a way to encourage exploration, discussion and learning – perfect way to share with your children! Love it! I appreciate you sharing with Home and Garden Thursday,

Thanks, Kathy!
What a special and meaningful way to keep up with all the little bits and fancies that come home with the kiddos! I’m looking forward to doing this with my girls and am spotlighting your post on my Facebook page today.
Thank you so much for linking up to “A Little Birdie Told Me…”. I decided to take a week off from the party to allow me the time to visit my friends out in the blogosphere, so…here I am!

Thank you , Jenn!
I wish I’d known of this idea when our children were young.
Maybe you could have your own wonder bowl for just you….
I love this idea. Think I am going to get something similar for my short stuffs!
Found you from the ad lecture we did today, was good fun and I know I learned a lot.
So glad to have you, Eva! Wonder Bowls are so fun…..
Loved it so much I have done a post on it too, don’t worry you get full credit for thinking it up. It will be up tomorrow so please stop by for a look at http://buildhousehome.blogspot.com.au/ if you have time
