Pri and I went to the beach and collected some leaf littler and sand. We also took advantage of this one on one time to swim and chat about girl stuff – princesses and mermaids.We came back to the boat and with Wag’s help we checked out the leaf litter for some creepy crawlies. If we had gotten the leaves from further inland there would have been some better bugs but there were some steep rocks where we were. We talked about how the critters make the leaves their homes and help them decompose back into the earth. We then put the leaves, sand, coral and shells in a cut up water bottle, soon to be paint container to see how all the different pieces react. We’ll check it all out in the morning to see what parts float and what parts sink. 
We also love a bit of homemade play dough action.
