🌱Garden greens & helping bees🐝
This was our biggest lettuce crop yet! The leaves are soft and tender. Soo good!
🐝How to help bees in the garden: Bees need plenty of water to regulate the temperature in their hive on hot days. Using a birdbath with textured rocks or shells ( partially above the water level) provides a safe landing place for the bees to collect water. Smooth rocks and gems should not be used because bees can slip into the water and drown.
The bees bring water to their hive, and fan it with their wings to cool the hive. They can go through a 1/2 gallon of water per day and they return to the same water source. It's important to check the bird bath regularly to ensure it is full.
Happy beekeeping!

🎨🖌️Painting a pony🫟🐴

This was Magic's first time being a painted pony. It was a hot day at camp and painting under the shade of a walnut tree seemed to be the perfect art activity. First, we brought Magic up to his hay net hanging on the fence. He happily and calmly munched his hay as children gently
painted his coat with unique designs and brushstrokes. Some quietly painted their own hands and others made creative designs on his fur. Once the pony art masterpiece was completed, they sponged Magic off to remove the paint. He was cooled by the water and the children enjoyed watching as the colors and water merged before dripping onto the ground. Some children used a sponge to slowly wipe the paint, while others enjoyed using bare hands with water to rub the paint off. One child mentioned how soothing and relaxing this activity was. After the painting fun, Magic had a play date with Big Red and they enjoyed frolicking in cool mist coming from the hose. Magic is such an all-Star! He's cooperative, gentle, and such a good sport.

🐴"Developmental & Emotional Benefits of Painting a pony🐴🫟🫟

🖌️Engagement: Interacting with a living, breathing animal while painting provides a multi-sensory experience that engages a child's sight, touch, and smell.

🫟Bonding & Empathy: Working alongside a docile, friendly pony can build a child's confidence, calm their nerves around large animals, and foster a gentle approach to pets.

🐴Creative Expression: Painting a three-dimensional, moving canvas allows kids to explore color theory and spatial awareness in a unique way. "

Yesterday we enjoyed the lettuce, herbs, and flowers that children planted this year. This tender lettuce was amazing.
We made our own salad dressing using olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and Italian herbs. Growing vegetables in the garden allows children to connect their food with the earth. They realize that food doesn't just come from supermarkets.
Participating in farm-to-table also encourages healthier eating habits.
When children are involved with growing their own vegetables, they are more likely to eat them and develop healthy, lifelong eating habits.
