Learn MoreColson loves the parts of nature that are fun, surprising, and hands-on. His curiosity is huge, so the things that move, make noise, or can be explored usually capture his attention the most. Finding tiny creatures feels like a treasure hunt to him.
Colson’s favorite animal is the shark. He thinks sharks are exciting and loves learning about how big and powerful they are. He enjoys looking at pictures, asking questions about where they live, and learning about the different kinds of sharks. To him, sharks are fascinating creatures that make him curious to learn more about the ocean and the animals that live in it.
Colson’s favorite outdoor activity is discovering bugs, rocks, sticks, and other small treasures in nature, often adding new insects to his bug collection. Last spring, he did a caterpillar-to-butterfly kit and was fascinated watching the process. He asked lots of questions as the caterpillars changed and eventually became butterflies. The outdoors is full of surprises for him, giving him a chance to explore, learn about nature, and imagine new adventures.
