Additional Activities for home:
Watch the short (1 minute) "Spring is Here" video song from Lost in the Woods movie by Laura and Robert Sams of Sisbro Studios. Help your child name all the woodland animals--that is if you both can keep from giggling. I saw a squirrel, hatchlings, field mouse, wild turkey, ducklings, chipmunk, painted turtle, warbler?, grasshopper, deer, fawn, and a toad.
(Rainy day activity): Pull out some different weather clothes and mix them up in a pile and either you or your child pick a season and have him/her dress up in the appropriate clothing for that season--don't forget the shoes!
