You may have heard the news about Rocky. Sadly, he passed away a few weeks ago. He was a friendly fish, and would swim to the front of the tank when our preschoolers arrived to school! Thank you, Rocky, for making our days more interesting, and for teaching us how to care for a fish.
There’s a new friend at PTYCP. Meet Strawberry! Strawberry came to live with my family a little over a year ago. She outgrew her small tank and needed a new home. So far, she is loving her new space. Everyone happily welcomed her to preschool.

These s’mores were so much fun to make! Make some at home; perfect for camping play, rainy day, or just because!
🌟 chocolate melts ( we used our small crockpot)
🌟 large marshmallows
🌟 graham crackers (in ziplock bag)
🌟 paper straws
🌟 plate
Use those hands and fingers to crush the graham cracker in bag. Poor into plate.
Press straw in center of marshmallow.
Use straw to hold and dip marshmallow in melted chocolate.
Roll marshmallow through graham crumbs.
ENJOY!

Are you a nature lover? I have been a “tree hugger,” as my Mama affectionately (I think affectionately?) calls me, for as long as I can remember. If the opportunity to be outside exists, that is where you will find me.
That is why so much of the content here at How Wee Learn has a nature focus to it! With over 10 years worth of blog posts, you are bound to find hundreds of outside activities to enjoy in nature with your little ones.
Today, as we continue our 10 Days of Freebies to celebrate How Wee Learn’s 10th Anniversary, we are heading outside with a nature scavenger hunt!
