Our eggs have changed again. They started out one way and have become something else. Sort of like our day. The morning kicked off with another Hair Party. Friends found their places in the music area and jammed out. Simultaneously, Mel and scientists drained their Karo syrup eggs and submerged them in water, getting ready for the big explosion this afternoon. The eggs will soak up the water again and we’ll have friends pop them!

A conversation about bugs, spiders and worms has begun. From our hair party, we moved to a creative drama exploration where friends became worms and our bedhead became a red robin pecking for a worm to eat.

Elliott and Finn fed their friends information from two earthworm books and the drama moved into a “catch the mole” game.

Three friends outsmarted the group by moving so quickly beneath the earth, they escaped the squish.

When we learned about snakes and then spiders, we tried to use our bodies to create those creepy crawlers.

Then we calmed our bodies to the sweet chirping sounds of crickets.

We really wanted to find a worm. So we decided to give it a try. We did find one worm. And we talked a lot about where the worms were, why they weren’t out and what their favorite weather conditions are…to make an appearance.

We’ll wait. For the worms AND the warm.

Oh! As we anticipate warmer weather, we need to replenish our sunscreen supply. When you think of it, please bring a sunscreen spray bottle to keep at Wee Friends! Thank you!
