Princess Pi was hungry this morning!

I snagged this PLAY in the baking aisle at my local this week, and it’s good fun.

July 26, 2020. I was working in the kitchen, and I noticed this little friend hunting on my back porch. Could this be one of the progeny I released in early May? I sure hope so!!! 😻

My kids are TOTAL screenagers, and with summer break just a few days away, I decided we needed some intervention. I made this checklist, and you can download a PDF for FREE by following the link in my bio or at 👉https://www.sarahdoesscience.com/post/screentimechecklist 👈

My colleagues are incredible, and Ms. Britt at has been making some incredible circle time content! You can link there thru my website sarahdoesscience.com, and be sure to check out her science-themed circle time lessons on the solar system and life cycles! So good! 🌍 🌲 🦋 🐸 ⭐️

👉 TRY THIS AT HOME:
🐦 On the website: activities for the birds - Make a bird feeder from recycled materials or make a gift-worthy birdseed house!

🌧 It’s going to rain tomorrow (in Atlanta): check out the rain gauge activity made from materials you can UPCYCLE in your home!

Take a One-Foot Hike If you want to try something different from your normal outdoor activity routine, then I suggest taking a 1-foot hike! Typically, an outdoor adventure or hike involves processing the world on a macro scale, but a1-foot hike focuses on the diversity of life and natural objects in a small, 1-foot squa...
