[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 661272, member: 18958"] When I was that age until age 11 or so I was transported by soil and what lived in it. I loved bugs and butterflies. I don't know if Bart has a yard, but you can buy insect habitats. Number one rated on Amazon is a butterfly garden habitat. They send you 10 larvae that hatch to caterpillars and then to butterflies. There is not enough time for that because it takes 10 days to receive the live larvae, after you receive the habitat. But there are all kinds of things to support an interest in bugs. You could go to the library with Junior and get books. And go outside with him to see what he finds. What about buying some seeds for flower pots (herbs are good), and buying a couple of already grown plants tomato plants in a pot for Junior to tend, so he can have his own window or patio garden if there is no yard? There is always fishing. Buy each of you a starter pole. And go out in the early morning. I lived outdoors as a kid and to me there is no better way to live. This sounds fun. PS I forgot Collage and Art Supplies. M does needlework. His Mom taught him to crochet, embroider and sew. We are going to learn to spin and weave together. [/QUOTE]
