Maggie and I have been doing more outdoor exploration together. The other day I decided to create a terrarium with her, so we can catch various insects and observe them, talk about them, and draw our findings. It was SO simple and so fun. Here's what our science and art time looked like. EASY to replicate (we caught 2 bees on Saturday and did the same things).
Supplies: one happy, eager child, a Ragu jar, a hammer, and a nail
With careful help, let your child create several air holes
Put greenery and sticks into the jar
Capture your subject
Make observations and predictions together with your child
Draw your findings together

You are so stinkin' motivated. What a great teacher.
