In a stroke of genius, Emma figured out Adelia’s riddle! Do you know where she’s heading next?

It can get pretty cold up in the Himalayas, but the animals that live there have some special adaptions that help them survive. Do you know what these animals have in common?

Eco-Activity: Twiggy Tree Art

Looking for a reason to get outside this weekend? Why not make some twiggy tree art! It’s a great way to get some fresh air and make some TREErific art to decorate your room or give to someone close to you!

The best part of this activity is the prep work! Before you sit down to craft, you’ll have to go out and look for some twigs. It will be even better if you can make it a family trip to the forest! A walk in the woods is a great way to reconnect with nature and with each other.

Next, it’s time to start crafting!

Once you’ve collected all your items, arrange your twigs to create a leafless but lifelike tree on your paper. Once you’re happy with the placement of your twigs, glue them down and let it dry. Next, grab your paint and start dotting the sky with snowflakes. Finish by painting the ground under the tree. Now your wonderful winter scene is complete. Great job!

Through a Bird’s Eyes

Ever wonder how birds can tell which eggs are home to their chicks? Well it all has to do with the colour of the egg. Now, I know what you may be thinking, all birds have eggs look the same! And you know what, you are right. Bird eggs all look the same…to humans.

Researchers have discovered that birds have the ability to see ultraviolet (UV) light, which humans cannot. This could explain how, when a white egg looks like every other white egg to us, birds can see distinctive markings and can tell which ones have their chicks.
