HAPPY EARTH DAY! 🌎🌿

We celebrated by getting our hands a little dirty and creating terrariums. 🌱🫙These tiny ecosystems are a fun way to see how plants grow, recycle water, and thrive in their own environment. 🌼

Lots of smiles, creativity, and a little bit of nature magic just the way Earth Day should be! 💚🌻💧
