Village Green!

Well, it wasn't as warm and sunny as last year, but we still had fun this year at Village Green. The theme of our booth this year was BUGS!

We had four super fun games for kids to play:



Game #1: Name that bug!

We had eight kinds of bugs for kids to name; the most tricky ones were the preying mantis and the scorpion. A lot of kids thought the scorpion was a lobster. I suppose that's because we don't often see scorpions around here, but we see lobsters all the time!




Game #2: Ladybug Life Cycle Stages

This game was a challenge for both the children and their parents! Most people did not even know that ladybugs go through metamorphosis like butterflies. The common mistake was to put the pupa second (in third spot above), and the larvae third (in second spot above).




We had all stages of the ladybug life cycle on display for everyone to check out in our
Ladybug Land by Insect Lore.




Game #3: Draw what you see!

Take a look in our Creature Peeper by Insect Lore and draw your observations of ladybugs. I really liked the artistic touch that this child had.




Game #4: Butterfly Life Cycle Stages

Use the Life Cycle Stages Stamps by Insect Lore to put the stages of a butterfly in the correct order.




Stage 1: eggs, Stage 2: caterpillar, Stage 3: pupa or chrysalis, Stage 4: adult butterfly



PRIZES!!!

After all the games have been played, each kid gets to take home a Little Bug Locket by Insect Lore with ladybugs inside!
