Kinderealm: Wildflowers

May's Kinderealm was all about Wildflowers.  We learned about different flowers, made a craft, and went for a nature walk to discover different wild flowers.  

The naturalist also brought a box turtle to share

 We learned that if you find a box turtle on the road to just move him to the side and let him go on his way.  If we pick him up and take him somewhere else he will spend his whole life trying to find his way back and will eventually die.  

 We went on a Monday, so Daddy got to come too!  Yeah for a nature walk with Dada!

Kinderealm: Hummingbirds

We love the metro parks!   The month of April's kinderealm was all about Hummingbirds.  

Here Ethan and Isaac are learning about how long a humming birds tongue is... 

 Hannah got to go up and demonstrate for everyone.  

 They make a craft..here's Hannah's hummingbird and nest.  

 Then off for a hike with the naturalist.  

Kinderealm: Woodpeckers

I love the metro parks.  One of the things that we have really enjoyed since being here is the kinderealm program that they offer for Hannah.  In November, the kids learned all about woodpeckers.  

We headed over after a morning at BSF and a picnic lunch with Aunt Beth.  

She's all ready!  

 They learned about woodpeckers, made a craft, then headed out with binoculars to see if they could spy some.  

 Our naturalist did a great job.  She is great with the kids and full of expression.  Hannah LOVED her.  She was never farther then just a few steps behind her (so reminded me of myself as a little girl).  It's neat to see her so eager to learn.

Just another beautiful fall day in God's creation.  So much to be thankful for...
