April’s Artist of the Month is Claude Monet, a French artist who loved to paint the world around him. Monet was very observant.

Splish, splash! April showers mean puddles everywhere, and kids can’t resist jumping in—boots or no boots! This week in the Studio, make a smooshy, sparkly puddle… and yes, we WILL add a pair of paper boots, because Mom said so (and who argues with Mom?). While supplies last.

Birds spend lots of time building the perfect nest, gathering bits and pieces from nature to make it just right.

Did you know bumblebees buzz not just when they fly, but also when they pollinate?
