Lessons in Nature


Caterpillars and bunnies and bees--oh my! Here are the kids checking out what we were hoping would be a very hungry caterpillar on the couch. And contrary to what the book says, this little guy wouldn't eat the one slice of swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one piece of cake, or any of the other things we left out for him...

What we've learned around here:


1. Do not squish caterpillars. Hard for them to survive this sort of thing (I didn't take pictures).

2. Bees are super cool! To look at from a reasonable distance. And by "reasonable distance" I mean three houses down.

3. When you are using a nest you found in a tree to show your daughter what a real nest looks like, and when you fill the nest with real eggs for a visual, she will undoubtedly pick up the real egg and try to eat it.


4. When you run at a bunny making truck sounds, they might just run away.
They aren't willing to stick around and find out if you are a nice little 3-year old boy!
Here's a picture taken "pre-running and trucks sounds/pre-running away."



3. When you are willing to hold a caterpillar without squishing it, it's willing to survive for you. And those things are really one of God's masterpieces of creation from start to finish!
