Receive Text UpdatesI love learning about animals and how they live in their habitats. It’s amazing that nature is everywhere and always changing. Animals figure out how to survive in all kinds of places. I think the best part of nature is how many different animals there are and how each one is special. I love discovering new things about them and how they live wild and free.
My favorite animal is the axolotl! They’re so cute because they stay in their baby form forever. I think it’s cool that they can grow back body parts too. But they’re also endangered, so we need to protect them and keep their homes clean and safe. I like learning ways we can help them survive. They remind me how important it is to take care of animals and nature.
I love being outside, especially planting flowers that help bees and butterflies. I want to make sure pollinators have the plants they need. After planting, I make fairy gardens using mud, leaves, and sticks to build little houses and caves. I like using what I find in nature to create something magical. It’s fun and helps me feel close to the earth and the animals living nearby.
