We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of activities for you and your families every day at 1:00 pm. Watch for weekend Boredom Busters on Saturday and/or Sunday. See which ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom of this blog.
Today's theme is All About Wolves!
Fun Facts: https://www.coolkidfacts.com/wolf-facts/
Wolves may look like big dogs, but there's a lot more to them than that. Did you know that even though wolves are carnivores, they'll sometimes add fruits like apples, pears, berries, and melons to their diet?
One lesson that wolves teach us is that we are stronger when we work as a team - when we're part of a pack!
Learn some more fun facts about wolves from National Geographic!
