I saw a craft awhile ago about making your own firefly. It was so cute! That made me think back to when I was a kid and catching lightning bugs (as I call them) and putting them in jars. Ahhh, the good ol' days! I think I would still catch a lightning bug in my hand, but, I don't think I would touch any other bugs anymore. Eww! So, I decided to teach my girls about fireflies this week. We went to the library on Monday and checked out a few books on lightning bugs. I figured I would read one a day.
I also printed out a few coloring pages for them to color and I talked a little about the firefly; how they glow, where they live, etc. They probably didn't understand much of it, but, oh well. Who knew there was a website dedicated to fireflies. Check out www.firefly.org
Did you know that they are disappearing? I believe it. I really haven't seen any in a long time. Very sad actually. I hope my girls get to catch lightning bugs in a jar like I did. Tomorrow, we are making the craft that inspired this learning about lightning bugs.
