Gardening week for preschool

The last two weeks we have been learning about creatures you find in the garden and why each one is helpful... or why you don't want certain creature in your garden. Then Ted and Tidus would make a little paper version of the creature and put it in "Ted's Garden". The last thing we talked about was the snail but Ted did not want to put it up on the wall because they are not good for your garden.

On the wall you can see we painted butterflies, made paper plate bees, played "pin the dot on the lady bug", made bejeweled flowers, flying birds out of traced hands and feet and a tube caterpillar.

The snail activity was a game where the kids put on a paper bag and pretended to be a snail and eat all the paper fruit on the floor. It was a kind of relay race.

According to Ted this is what he learned:

Bees buzz, caterpillars grow into butterflies, we didn't learn snails, snails just stay snails, ladybugs eat bad bugs, That was it.
