– Thank you for trying my resources!
Hey sweet friends, I don’t know you but the kids and I are having a blast with bee week.
We are tagging along with the #ENWChoneybeeweek for #explorenaturewithchildren and it’s been really fun to see all the amazing resources that you can find out there in the wonderful world of creative mamas in Instagram.
On Monday
We watched a couple fun videos that we found in my friend Lynn’s blog from @raisinglittleshoots . Did you know that once nectar is turned into pollen inside the bee’s stomach, the bee vomits it in the moth of another bee?! (I thought that was gross and interesting!) 🙂
I had to add arts and crafts to whatever it is we are learning so I gathered a couple different types of bird seeds and other pantry items (Hello old popcorn kernels forgotten in the back!)
On Tuesday we read lots of book about bees and learned how to differentiated bees from wasps and different places where bees make their homes. Here are a couple of the books that we read. I might receive a little commission if you purchase through my links. To purchase the following books scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. Thank you!

Today is Wednesday!
On Wednesdays we find different, easy, healthy and fun recipes to spend some time cooking together! The kids really look forward to it. Today we made the most delicious no-bake granola bars. It was only fitting since they have a honey base!

This is what we will be working on the rest of the week:
I designed a Unit Study that incorporates Spanish while studies our busy friends.
