Her Stories

Little Miss Muffet Sat on a Tuffet

Eating her curds and whey; Along came a spider, Who sat down beside her, And frightened Miss Muffet away!

Have you ever been eating a yummy snack and had a visitor come along? What if that visitor was a spider? Eek! A lot of people are scared of spiders, even grown-ups! But did you know that spiders are actually really cool and helpful?

Spiders help us by eating other bugs that might try to nibble on our gardens or sneak into our homes. They spin amazing webs that are super strong and sticky, perfect for catching their food. Some spiders are even colorful and have fascinating patterns on their bodies! Instead of being scared of spiders, let's try to appreciate them for the amazing creatures they are.

Bugs are cool and amazing?! Thanks for loving bugs too! 🐞

Imagine you were a spider, carefully building your web, strand by strand. How would you feel if someone came along and destroyed it? Sad, right? That's why it's important to be respectful of spiders and their homes, even if they sometimes startle us.

The Itsy Bitsy Spider Went Up the Water Spout

Down came the rain, and washed the spider out; Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain, And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Spiders are pretty determined, aren't they? Even when the rain washes them away, they don't give up! They climb right back up that water spout, ready to rebuild their web and catch some tasty bugs.

That's one of the things that makes bugs so fascinating – they never give up! Think about ants carrying crumbs many times their size or bees buzzing from flower to flower, collecting nectar. They work hard, even when things get tough.

Bugs are cool and amazing?! Thanks for loving bugs too! 🐞

Next time you see a spider or any other bug, take a moment to watch it. See how it moves, how it interacts with its environment. Do you think it's looking for food? Is it building a home? Is it trying to avoid getting squashed by a big foot?!

Ladybug, Ladybug, Fly Away Home

Your house is on fire, Your children are gone; All except one, And that's little Ann, And she has crept under the warming pan.

Ladybugs, with their bright red shells and black spots, are a welcome sight in any garden! But have you ever noticed that ladybugs seem to disappear during the colder months? Where do they go?

When the weather turns chilly, ladybugs search for a warm, cozy place to spend the winter. They might huddle together under leaves, in hollow logs, or even inside our homes! It's like a long winter slumber, waiting for the sunshine and warmth to return.

Bugs are cool and amazing?! Thanks for loving bugs too! 🐞

If you find a ladybug inside your house during the winter, don't worry! It's just trying to stay safe and sound until springtime. Maybe you can create a tiny ladybug shelter in your backyard, a pile of leaves or a small wooden box, to give them a cozy place to hibernate.

Snail, Snail, Put Out Your Horns

Or I'll shoot off your head tomorrow morn!

This silly rhyme might make us giggle, but it's important to remember that snails are gentle creatures! Those horns are actually eyes on stalks that help them see the world around them. And those shells they carry on their backs? Those are their homes, protecting them from danger.

Snails might move slowly, but they play a big part in our ecosystem! They help break down dead leaves and other plant material, returning nutrients to the soil. It's like they're tiny recyclers, helping our gardens grow!

Bugs are cool and amazing?! Thanks for loving bugs too! 🐞

If you see a snail in your garden, take a moment to watch it glide along. Notice the slimy trail it leaves behind – that helps it move smoothly over rough surfaces! Can you imagine carrying your house on your back everywhere you go? That's what snails do every day!

There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly

I don't know why she swallowed a fly - Perhaps she'll die!

That old lady sure made some strange choices, didn't she? But in the real world, swallowing a fly won't make you die! In fact, some animals rely on flies as a tasty snack! Frogs use their long, sticky tongues to catch flies mid-air, while spiders trap them in their webs.

Even though we might think of flies as pesky insects, they actually play an important role in nature! They help break down waste and pollinate some plants. Just like those helpful spiders, snails, and ladybugs, flies are a part of the amazing web of life on our planet.

Bugs are cool and amazing?! Thanks for loving bugs too! 🐞

So the next time you see a fly buzzing around, remember that it's just doing its part in the world, just like you! Maybe you can even try to shoo it gently away instead of swatting at it. After all, we should all try to get along, even with the smallest creatures.
