Buying Seeds for the Garden


It’s almost summer! and that means it’s time to start the garden. Actually, we probably should have started a few weeks ago, but better late than never! Sophie and Sadie are trying to decide which seeds to buy. What are your favorite vegetables?

Museum – sculpture, Oval with Points


I’m not sure how Sophie and Sadie got to the sculpture without walking on the grass – I also don’t know how they managed to climb it! Oval with Points, which this sculpture looks like, was done by the artist Henry Moore. It’s pretty big as you can see – and made of bronze. He wanted his art to be outside for people to enjoy (although probably not climb on!) instead of in museums. Can you see where the points […]

Hockey


Did you know that before ice hockey pucks were invented, frozen cow poop was used as a puck!  Wow, the things we learn.  There are lots of different ways to play hockey – on ice, on roller skates, on the street, under water, with a ball, with a puck… Sophie and Max are playing street hockey – looks like fun!

Apple cider


Sophie is working hard making apple cider. It takes 36 apples squeezed through the apple press to make one gallon of apple cider. Sadie must be tired from picking apples! Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

cornfield


Walking through a cornfield is so cool!  The corn this time of year is really tall and it makes a beautiful music as the wind goes through it. It also has a lovely smell. Did you know that there is corn grown on every continent in the world except for Antarctica?!

Honey Bee


Did you know that honey bees are responsible for pollinating about 80% of all of the fruits, vegetables, and seeds in the United States? There is a lot of concern lately because the honey bee population is getting smaller. One of the problems is that there are more and more places that honey bees can’t live because there aren’t enough flowers and yummy things for them to eat. Glad these bees are finding some pollen (that is what is sticking […]

kayaking


I just learned to kayak this week and now Sophie’s giving it a try. It’s hard work! But it’s nice and quiet and calm – and that’s just why the native people near the arctic circle invented kayaks about 4,000 years ago. Being so quiet made hunting easier! Now people mostly kayak for fun. Click on the image below, or click here, to open the coloring page, then download, print, and start coloring!

Desert Island


I always thought a desert island was what all of the pictures of tropical paradise islands with sand and palm trees. Turns out I was wrong! Desert islands are deserted islands, meaning no one lives on them. They sure do look restful.

tire swing!


Wow – this is really a fun swing! Don’t you wish you were on it with Sophie and Sadie? There are so many old tires that are starting to be recycled in very cool ways – as tire swings, of course!, and also under playgrounds to make the ground softer and more bouncy and also mixed into the asphalt on highways to make them last longer.

swinging


It’s summer where we live – and that means playing in the park and swinging on the swing set! I wonder if Sadie is going to get to swing next?! It is so cool that there are drawings of women and kids swinging on swing sets on ancient Greek vases.
