Usually Western Ribbon snakes prefer minnows until they reach closer to adulthood around 2 years

One did eat the tadpole

Our Nature terrarium!

I love thinking about how excited the kids were when catching these cutie heads

Each one has a story~ how we passed it around gently
or what kind of container we put it in
or what name the kids gave it
~ who overcame a fear by observing or handling

I thought Iโ€™d share ๐Ÿ’š

I aim to create a safe & welcome space for your children to lean into their growth edges, to come home fulfilled & make all the friends!

Itโ€™s all about connection, with each other, with the land & our ancestorโ€™s way of living. Our daily rhythm reflects how children benefit from time of engagement & discussion as well as independence, self directed play & free discovery.
