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.
Why did Miss Muffet run away? That spider just wanted to be friends. Spiders would never hurt anyone. Spiders are helpful. They catch pesky flies and other insects in their beautiful and super strong webs. Next time you see a spider, take a moment to watch it. You will be amazed at how quickly a spider can work!
I have a little house and no door to go in. What am I?
An Egg
What is inside an egg? Yes! Often it's a baby! A caterpillar hatches from an egg. After eating and eating and eating some more, a caterpillar builds a cocoon where it stays safe and sound for a long time. When it finally emerges, it has transformed into a beautiful butterfly! The next time you see a butterfly, remember how amazing the transformation is from a tiny little egg.
A thousand little soldiers, dressed in green, They march through the meadow, never seen. What are they?
Blades of Grass
Ants live in colonies. A colony can have thousands of ants! Ants work together to build their homes and gather food. There are worker ants, soldier ants, and even a queen ant! Ants are super strong. They can carry things many times their size! Do you know how ants find their way back to their colony? They leave a scent trail that they follow. How cool is that?!
Bugs are cool and amazing?! Thanks for loving bugs too! 🐞
Two little antennas twitching on my head, I crawl around on six legs, it’s true, I spin a sticky web, it’s plain to see.
