Answer-- Amazing Bugs!
Session III of summer camp was inspired by insects. We looked at their amazing shapes from a design point of view and their diversity. Ladybugs, Bees, Butterflies, and Dragonflies are our personal favorites. Our playground is a natural habitat for Ladybugs and it's always so much fun to watch the kids excitement and enthusiasm and their observations turned into art. We were fortunate to see Monarch Butterflies, (which are being considered for the endangered species list), Hummingbirds, Finches and lots of other bugs.
