The beginning of our week we spent in Connecticut with my family. We took Star to the Norwalk Maritime Center. We learned all about creatures of the water.
We even got to touch stingrays. Very cool!!
Here are a few things from the rest of our week...
We played with bubbles
We had a book picnic. (picture a blanket in the shade piled high with books)
We planted flowers.
I gave Star her very own garden pot with plants for her to take care of. I told her that they were entirely for her and she could do what ever she wants with them. I also explained how plants need soil sun and water to live. So far several of the plants have been planted and replanted several times. It will be interesting to see if they survive the summer.We went exploring
I made an exploring backpack. It is currently filled with a magnifying glass, a bug container, children s field guides, oil pastels and a notebook. Soon it will also have a small fish net and a plant press.And that was it! It was too nice to be inside, plus I am currently reorganizing tot school. I hope to have it finished for next week to share.

ReplyDeleteLOVE everyone's HATS!!! Hats off to an awesome MOM and incredible children that are learning sooo much every day in so many ways.
ReplyDeleteYes, the book picnic is inspiring! What a great idea and a great way to get outdoors in beautiful spring. Thank you for such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteJill, the planter actually came with the house when we moved in a year ago. It is simply a large square pot. I'm not sure where the past owners got it from.
ReplyDeleteYour kids are just adorable! Lovely pictures. I love including the outdoors in everything we do.
