Worms in the Grass: Take blue construction paper and finger paint it with green paint to make grass. Then take different lengths of brown yarn and have your LO glue them to the painting for 3-D worms in the grass.
Snail Searching: Have fun looking for snails. We haven't been able to find any snails this summer so far which is odd since usually we have tons! If you find one, be sure to keep it for the next activity!
A Snail is an artist! book
