Suppose it's a stormy day outside and you don't feel like going outside, but you still would like to pretend you're outside in the garden. You could ask your mom or dad to take you to the library to check out one of these cool books about garden stuff. Meet Bobby Banana and make up a story about your adventures with Barney Broccoli . Insects are really fun to study. Visit a really cool ant farm or start your own at home.
Kits are often available at hobby stores.
Frogs like to eat insects. See how many different kinds of frogs there are in Australia. You could visit Alaska for a weather study to find out. Or maybe you would like to visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Kidspage instead. They have information on Texas dinosaurs, rivers, lakes, slithering snakes and endangered species.
