Preschool Nature Hunt

We went on a nature hunt yesterday and this was our list:

pine cone

pine needles

feather

2 different types of grasses

something yellow

a flower

something green

something brown

two leaves different in shape 

something fuzzy

a seed

something not ripe yet

We sat and read some books, and learned about insects. 

Gardening and Yard Work

The best things I believe you can do for a child is to cook, bake and garden with them.

Last Ditch Effort Craft

We were learning about cactus and my little kids were really crabby this day. I had to think of a craft fast. We cut these out of construction paper and then glued sprinkles from Halloween on them. It was not a great craft, but it kept them busy. And the sprinkles did fall off later, haha.

Ant Farm
