Kids and bugs

Last year I posted about our little, tiny, mini worm farm and how youngest child is very fond of bugs. Now I realize that worms aren't bugs, but they are in the creepy crawly kid fascinating creatures. Youngest child is still very fond of bugs and she received a bug catching kit for Christmas. She has been lamenting the cold winter ever since as she really, really wants to catch some bugs! Well, we've had a bit of a warm spell and a few spiders and crickets have been popping out. So now we have a couple crickets joining the worms on the table.


We made them a little habitat.

And here's our worms. We put the ones from last winter back in the garden this spring but had to get a new batch this fall. They seem to be thriving and multiplying.

And this is what the table looks like around youngest childs' place. I'm sure more will be added to it as the opportunity arises. :)
