Happy Earth Day!



In celebration of Earth Day today, the buddies made Earth Day Caterpillars. They were so proud! You can make them at home too!



Supplies:
1 knee-high stocking
dirt
rye grass seed
2 hairbands
1 pipe cleaner, cut in half



Directions:
Ask Mom to mix 3 parts dirt and 1 part seed in a large bucket. While Mom holds the stocking open, scoop the dirt mixture in, filling to 2/3 full. Ask Mom to tie off the stocking and trim the edge. Wrap two hair bands around the body of the caterpillar, creating sections. Poke pipe cleaners through the head as antennae and curl the edges around your finger. Water daily and watch your friend grow green hair!


Soon enough, we'll find out if the buddies have green thumbs.
