Theme: Get a little Buggy!

Well, we made it to another Friday, Friends! And in the Bay Area, we had some rain, which is ALWAYS a good thing. More in the forecast! 

(My gratitude for the day is done - what are you grateful for today?)

Now that the sun's out, let's get outside and look for some bugs!

I just looked out of my window and saw a fly go past, so, if you are inside, you can still look for bugs. 

*Let's stretch, get to a window, or step outside if it is safe!

...Maybe this isn't comforting, but those bugs, they are EVERYWHERE!!! 

So if you're an inside entomologist, maybe get close to the ground, or check around the compost bin, or look up in a corner to see if some bug friends are hiding out.

(Draw or photo journal what you find!)

Activity: Make a Bug Board
1. Use a rock, log, piece of wood, or cardboard box to make a "safe zone" for some bugs (or creepy crawlies) 
2. Place this item on the ground in a safe place (put a weight on top of it if you're using a cardboard box so it doesn't blow away)
3. Wait a few days! 
4. Predict - who might be living under your Bug Board?
5. Look underneath to see who's there!

I wonder if the placement of the Bug Board matters? 

I put my Bug Board under a tree, near the compost bin. 

What happens if you put yours in the middle of a sunny place?

We'll check our Bug Boards on Monday to see if anyone has moved in! 

In the meantime, you might want to join "The Outside Every Day Challenge" from the folks at Thorne Nature Experience!
