This is the best way to keep kids' hands clean and slow down the spread of colds and flu in the middle of the winter! We set up a "bubble table" with lots of soapy water. Our kids had the cleanest hands in the school. And we had the wettest carpet.
Setting up the bubble table caused a mysterious phenomenom. A lot of fathers started bringing their kids to school, and stayed to blow bubbles for a while every day. Curious!
Rites of spring
Cris Paravacini would bring us a setting hen from the ranch every year. We set her up with a nest box with a fence around it. The fence appeared to be keeping the hen it, but it was really to keep the kids out.
This is Sassy, a Banty Hen. She was one of our most successful. One year we had a big white hen, forgot her name, I think of her as "the hen from hell." About two days before hatching, she just snapped and broke up her nest. She broke all the eggs, and threw dead baby chicks out on the floor.
One little kindergarten girl, said in a very small voice, "Are we going to have a funeral?"
