Have you ever noticed that butterflies start fluttering about when the warm weather starts to arrive? Butterflies go through many changes before they become beautiful and start fluttering about! Read more about butterflies here. |

Spring is an excellent time to start a garden! Have you ever planted anything in the ground? This website can help you start a garden of your own and teach you when you should start planting! |

"April showers bring May flowers." During Spring, the weather changes from cold to warm, then it often begins to rain! The earth needs the rain so the plants can grow in the Springtime! |

Ladybugs are cute and interesting! Have you ever wondered about the life of a ladybug? Check out this website about ladybugs to have many of your questions answered! |
| Grow a Garden BAM! You
are now a grown up! The season is Spring and the weather is super warm!
Butterflies are fluttering around you and the ground is damp from the
morning rain. You walk outside and into the shed. You pick up your
garden tools and head into the garden to plant some of the things that
you know will grow well in the Spring. Once you get done planting your
garden, head back inside and cool off with a nice tall glass of
lemonade. Take out a piece of paper and draw the garden you just
planted! Don't forget that it's springtime and only certain things grow
well during this time of the year!!
