We had the best Birthday “Crew” today! 😍🦕🦖

Thank you for celebrating at Clover Exploration with me!

Sustainability doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

It’s the little choices we make throughout the day that add up to something bigger.

In our bathroom, you’ll find both paper towels and reusable cloth napkins. There’s a bin for laundry and a bin for trash, plus a little fact sheet about the difference — so everyone can choose what feels right for them.

Whether you reach for a cloth or a paper towel, the important thing is noticing the choices we can make and celebrating the steps (big or small) toward a more sustainable future.

It’s not about being perfect — it’s about being thoughtful. 💚

🐉✨The Last Day of Dragon Play Camp ✨🐉

Today was our final day of dragon play, and my heart is so full.
Spending time in the sunshine, listening to these dragons giggle, run, and roar, has been pure magic. Watching their eyes sparkle as they discovered treasure made my own soul ignite with joy!

I’m so thankful for the time we’ve spent together—nurturing friendships, celebrating childhood the way it should be (wild and free!), and soaking in these golden summer days.

I already can’t wait to start planning for next year’s play camp adventures!

🐉✨ Dragon Camp – Day Three! ✨🐉

Today was full of magic and adventure!
We brewed powerful dragon potions using nature’s treasures—leaves, sand, and flower petals—each one bubbling with imagination.

Then, with a notepad in hand, every child uncovered a riddle that led them to a mysterious dragon egg … a discovery only the bravest explorers could make!

I created a giant chalk path with dragon elements—lava, water, sky, mystic, and earth—for the kids to race through. Some turned it into an obstacle course, others made it a decorative scooter trail—but all zoomed with dragon energy!

We ended the day laughing under the sprinkler, soaking up sunshine, and savoring these last golden moments of summer.

Dragon Camp • Day 3 🐉✨

Today our dragons gathered in their secret lair for a day filled with magic, mystery, and a little mischief!

🐉 Don’t wake the sleeping dragon! Our brave adventurers tiptoed past a fierce dragon in slumber — one wrong move and he might awaken!

🐉 We decorated powerful dragon masks and wore them proudly, transforming ourselves into creatures of ferocious strength!

🐉 The young keepers built cozy caves for each element — earth, water, and molten lava — and I got the privilege of watching their creations evolve and grow throughout the day!

🐉 And in a swirl of color and mysteries, we explored a mystical pebbled dragon magic sensory bin, discovering treasures hidden within.

Every day brings new dragon legends to life — we can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s adventures hold!

Look at this beauty we discovered today!

Learning through play is in the little moments we “don’t count”. It’s in the 10 minutes of time this little guy carved out of our day and we;

1.) Uploaded the caterpillars image to one resourcr to search to see what kind of caterpillar it was.
2.) went Google to double check that wha the first resource told us it was, was actuate. (Ps, it wasn’t!)
3.) Uploaded the picture to ANOTHER resource, and this time the picture matched!
4.) Learning thst this caterpillar is the LARGEST moth in North America! (Wow!!!)
5.) This caterpillar looks spooky, which is usually a sign to STAY AWAY! But this particular caterpillar isn’t poisonous.
6.) As they grow, they caterpillars change color! They start out black, then turn yellow, and finally become green like this big guy!!

Lastly, I got to pull out this book I recently got from Phoenix Books Rutland and look it over with the kids!
I can’t wait to go back tomorrow and check to see if one of the trees listed were right next to where we found him. Or was he dropped by a bird?!

So much learning. So much fun. I love living every moment with kids as curious as I am 😍

🐉 Dragon Camp – Day 2 Adventures! 🐉

Today our brave dragon explorers had another legendary day!
✨ We dashed through a stormy rain-cloud obstacle course, dodging lightning bolts with dragon-speed.
✨ Using sticks, leaves, and stones, the kids designed and built cozy homes for their dragons—imagination in full flight.
✨ We dove into a book filled with some of the world’s most magnificent (and dangerous!) creatures—perfect inspiration for understanding why dragons are so mighty.
✨ On our quest, we even discovered a mysterious caterpillar we’ve never seen before—a true magical creature in disguise!
✨ And to balance all that fire and adventure, we had the sweetest moment meeting and holding fluffy baby chicks.

Summer magic, dragon play, and childhood wonder all in one day! 🐉🌦️☀️

✨ Day ONE of Dragon Play Camp ✨

Today was all about dragon eggs and we:
✨ Decorated and designed our very own magical dragon eggs
✨ Built cozy nests to keep them safe and warm
✨ Searched high and low for our eggs after the mischievous dragon egg thief took them all and scattered them!!!
✨ Charged their elemental powers in colorful chalk zones
✨ Followed clues to uncover the legendary golden egg
…and so much more!

Dragon Play Camp isn’t just about dragons —it’s about childhood. It’s about climbing into a world of imagination, getting muddy hands, laughing with friends, and creating memories they’ll carry long after summer ends.
