Looks like we’re in the thick of summer! Our days have been filled with backyard games, lots of crafting and adding to our book nook:) The summer months are such a fun time for learning! While it doesn’t usually remain quite as “stick to the curriculum” at our house during summer break, I have a fun time coming up with themes that still inspire a joy of learning for my son like dinosaurs, under the sea, down on the farm, the solar system, around the world and so much more! I hands down include loads of opportunities for crafting and hands-on learning activities.

Butterfly Life cycle

August 2, 2019

Use this activity to help your little ones learn the butterfly life cycle!

Summer time is the perfect time for bee’s, bugs, and especially BUTTERFLIES!

We recently visited our local science center for an up close encounter with many different butterfly species! Exploring the butterfly habitat was engaging and fun! My son was able to closely inspect his favorite butterfly, the Monarch, by using the q-tip provided by staff.
