A Week of Fun for Kids at Home!
Robin Schachat
Here is a six day long project (June 17-23) to engage your kids who are at home this summer -- or you yourself, perhaps! National Pollinator Week is celebrating a BioBlitz, and all you need to participate is a camera and a free subscription to iNaturalist.
Consider a 3 or 4 hour playdate for the kids one afternoon. They will learn a lot about the basics of natural history while engaging in practical, useful research. You can learn all about it, and download the Toolkit, here.

It may interest them for a few hours or a week, or you may find your children are suddenly planning to become entomologists like Cynthia!
