A Home for a Worm

Olivia is one of those kids that just loves to dig in the dirt and thoroughly loves learning about bugs.  A couple weeks ago we explored the backyard to see what types of bugs we could find and where they were living.  I hadn't realized our backyard would hold such a plethora of insects.  Olivia can now easily find and talk about aphids, slugs, ants, worms, rolly pollies, beetles, bees, and spiders.  To end the day we made a home for a gummi worm.  Olivia made dirt by crumbling up chocolate cake.
