What are you reading this week? 📖
Yes, it's winter, but we could all do with a remin Yes, it's winter, but we could all do with a reminder that springtime is coming soon! Join your children and make Wildflower Seed Bombs as personal little gifts to give away, or as a nice gift to yourself to prepare for warmer weather. 🌷⠀
⠀
🌻 Wildflower Seed Bombs:⠀
⠀
To make these colorful and happiness-spreading seed “bombs,” each child will need about 2 inches of air-dry clay, 1 teaspoon of good quality soil, and 1⁄2 teaspoon of wildflower seeds per child. To set up, prepare a suitable workspace, like a dining table, with a protective tablecloth. Measure out the clay,⠀
soil, and wildflower seeds for each child, and have them ready at their individual work stations. When it’s all set up, invite the children to the table. Have the children roll their clay into a ball then flatten the middle with their thumb, forming a little bowl. Have them pour the teaspoon of soil into the clay bowl, then mix it into the clay. Have them repeat the process of making a clay ball into a clay bowl. Next, have them pour the seeds into the clay bowl and gently mix in. Ask the children to form the seed mixture into a shape (hearts are cute!) and let them dry, a few days at the most. ⠀
⠀
Wrap your Wildflower Seed Bombs up as gifts, or save them for your own yard. When the weather is warmer, dig a hole in good soil, place the “bomb” in and gently cover. Water as needed and watch your flowers grow! 💐⠀

Venn Diagrams are a fun way to contrast and compar Venn Diagrams are a fun way to contrast and compare just about anything! You can always draw a Venn Diagram on paper, but what about doing a huge one on your floor?!⠀
⠀
You could compare and contrast seasons (such as Spring and Fall, as seen in this photo), or maybe two siblings! Gather yarn, index cards, and markers. Use the yarn to create two large circles on the floor, that overlap in the middle to create the Venn diagram. Using index cards, label each circle with the two things your child wants to compare. Label the overlapping space in the middle of the circles “Both.” Lead a discussion about the ways the two things your child has chosen are alike and the ways they are different. As your child comes up with an idea, write it on an index card and have the child place it in the appropriate part of the Venn diagram. As you are discussing, you may find your child wants to move some of the cards around. Encourage them to rethink things and move cards as needed. You can take a photo of the final Venn diagram to save the project, or just let it be a fun activity that helps your child learn and grow.⠀

What comes to mind when you first think of steward What comes to mind when you first think of stewardship? ⠀
⠀
One of our resident book experts has put together a blog full of  books for all ages that will bring about plenty of opportunities to discuss and act on this month's character trait: Stewardship. We've broken it down into stewardship of one's household, natural resources, and money, recommending titles such as 𝘏𝘰𝘰𝘵, by Carl Hiaasen, 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳-𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘸, by Ashley Spires, and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴’ 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘉𝘰𝘰𝘬, by Diane Mayr.
