I know that it’s summer when I see lemonade stands popping up! I don’t know about where you live, but where we live it’s really hot and lemonade is the perfect drink to cool down. There is evidence that people were drinking lemonade in Egypt a long time ago (1500 years ago!) – which I can understand…it’s really hot there! I’m wondering if Sadie is going to drink all of the lemonade! Click on the image below, or click here, to open […]

People have been making collages for hundreds of years – but it was artists including Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso that brought it to modern art.

The word collage comes from the French word for glue. You don’t have to actually use glue to make a collage […]

I actually think that they are building a fort – but they told me it’s a hut, so that’s what we’re calling it. It is pretty amazing how we can make places to stay safe and warm and dry out of just about anything. Max just moved into the neighborhood – they all seem to be cooperating and are certainly doing a good job building the hut!

It’s so fun to see Sadie’s photos of her trip to Arizona! It’s funny that the fruit of a Prickly Pear is more often called a ‘fig’ than a ‘pear’ and in Spanish it’s called Tuna! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!
