Julia went to the Flowerbuds program at Brookside Gardens this morning. Today's topic? Bees and pollen. After reading some picture books about bees, the kids used finger puppets to fly around and collect pollen (aka Cheetos) from flowers. As you might expect, the kids' fingers turned orange!
Then we went outside so our bee puppets could fly among the real flowers. Julia kept her bee very busy, getting nectar and pollen from several flowers.
Last on the agenda? Planting flower pots. Julia's pot has a geranium (which will bloom bright pink) and a fan flower (which will have purple-blue flowers). Julia just loves the nature programs here!
