My husband and I took our six year old kiddo to an Early Learning class at our local Science Center this morning. It was oodles of fun for all but out of the five learning/fun stations available my son would only participate in one. It was the one that had bugs of course...cockroaches, worms, and banana slugs.

My youngest boy just painted on paper and my oldest painted a cardboard house. The paints use plant materials for their color... pomegranate, blueberry, tangerine, basil, plum, and lemon verbena. They even have … [Read more...]
