Another Desert Rascals success! This Rascal learned all about igloos—how they’re built and their importance in keeping warm in cold climates. We love seeing how much fun our Rascals have while learning and creating. This little Rascal not only enjoyed the craft but even imagined the penguins going to sleep in their cozy igloo! It’s so rewarding to see their creativity and excitement come to life. Thank you for sharing this wonderful moment with us!

Today is the perfect day to dive into the “When Snowmen Meet Hot Chocolate” experiment!
❄️☕ With the cooler temperatures, this hands-on activity will warm us up while introducing a fun scientific observation. We’ll explore what happens when our marshmallow snowmen meet hot, warm, and cold cocoa, fostering curiosity and learning. 🧪✨

Afterward, we’ll take a trip back in time to uncover the rich history of hot chocolate, from its origins with the ancient Mayans and Aztecs to the delicious treat we know today. 🌎🍫 It’s the perfect blend of science, history, and tasty fun! 🥳
