Backyard Fun with Nature for Kids - Lensography

You know them, they're the ants, the ladybugs, and even that pretty little butterfly. They are bugs. Or, to make is sound nicer we could call them "insects." They populate the backyard yard and are some of the first inhabitants that children come into contact with when they begin to explore their world.

What to do with them? Well, since there are more of them than humans, it's probably not fruitful to assume they'll just go away one day.

Here's a growing compilation of ways to celebrate nature and especially the back yard.
