Fun little exploring activity for little ones. :)

We enjoyed another rainy day. Once the storm calmed down, we did some more playing, reading, and a few educational activities.
Today we did a little fun activity, I call exploring nature with a play magnifying glass. Which, by the way, is so easy to make.

Play materials magnifying glass:
craft paper
glue
Popsicle stick/used for the handle
clear plastic wrap/or tape, which I used for the play glass part
crayons for drawing animals/insects, etc
Once I was finished making it, I also laminated it so that our daughter wouldn't tear it.

This was such a fun activity to do with our little one. She had so much fun exploring. She took her play magnifying glass around the house and found a few more things. I love watching her learn.

    What a fun rainy day activity for the little one! My kids are older now and sometimes they use my giant magnify glass to look for things in the house. It is very cute.

Pictures from my garden and a few of my favorite gardening quotes.

Here are a few pictures from my garden, and a few of my favorite gardening quotes. Enjoy! "When you grow your garden, it grows you." -  T.F. Hodge Source Gardening is learning, learning, learning.
