The Green Hour group is always up for an outside adventure. On September tenth we decided to take a walk to the playground off the bike trail. It has a lot of rocks and sticks for building gnome and fairy houses. We met by Leah's Cakery and what should have been a two minute walk to the playground took about twenty. That is because we looked for bugs along the way and made a list. We found four different spiders, bees, wasps, ants, a snail, and water bugs. They were found on the ground, on trees, by and in puddles. When we got to the playground the children played on the equipment for a bit but the real draw was building houses. Soon they were all very busy building. Take a look at their creations. At the end the fairy camp was moved to the stick and leaf home. Wonderful collaboration!
