Our Early Explorer Pollinator series was full of fun and discovery!

We had a great time learning about plants and pollinators with our Early Explorers. They learned how plants get their food from the sun and how flowers make seeds which then grow into new plants. We also learned about lady bugs, an insect that helps protect plants by eating pests, and then we all made ladybug pet rocks!

To wrap it all up, we created a beautiful pollinator garden and added added our pet ladybug rocks to the new garden! It was a fantastic week of hands-on learning and outdoor fun!
