Because my kids rarely reassemble the original project that the legos were purchased for, we are often on the hunt for new and creative lego instructions to make new things. We were excited to find the Lego Candy Dispenser instructions created by Sarah at Frugal Fun for Boys & Girls. A video showing how the dispenser works is located at the bottom of this post.

    This week, we will explore the history and science of toy making and make a few toys ourselves. We will also go on 2 field trips.

Some highlights include: painting with squirt guns making popcorn balls a sun screen science experiment building an air fort. May 31 – June 4

    Bugging Out

    Springs means new life is creeping out from everywhere, including deep within the soil, in the trees, and sometimes on the walls. This week we will explore things that crawl. And while this creeps me out a bit, Ansley doesn't shy away from most crawling things. I will take her lead as we explore bugs.
