Last week we took a wonderful idea from Kim at Mothering with Mindfulness and decided to fill a couple of baskets with scrap fabric, yarn, and thread for the birds to use for their nests. I actually have a big bag of scrap fabric and yarn that I have been saving for years. For some reason, I just can't get myself to throw it away, yet I don't have any plans for it. This was a perfect use!
We have also been going on bug hunts! Finn got a kid's insect guide as the Earth Day festival we went to a few weeks back, and he has been very intent on trying to find all of the critters. We have been searching under rock and lifting up pots...magnifying glass in tow. I love to watch how excited he can get out in the yard. I am a scientist at heart, and although I will love my kids whether they enjoy science or not, it does make me a bit giddy when they get into scientist mode.
We need to make a bird basket. Been meaning to. And I wish we had an insect chart. Maybe I can find one online. Yesterday the kids were bringing rolly pollies inside to show me. :) I love that they were inspecting them, but I did mention that it was best for bugs to stay outside, especially when Kian said, "oops, where mine go?"
