Bug Catchers

Today we took the kids around the farm to catch some bugs!

Perfect bug catching includes....


A jar of any size (smaller may be easier for small children)


A good net (not totally necessary, but sure is exciting for kids)



A magnifying glass for close inspection


Some pictures for identifying


A list to count out the number of bugs we find

We also read a cute story about a boy named Liam and his urban garden-- The Curious Garden by Peter Brown:



On Mondays we always have a rambunctious group, so it was nice seeing them go crazy looking for bugs- After we caught them, we all let the bugs go and explained why it is important having lots of bugs living at the farm.
