There are many legends of weather or seasonal spirits. The “fairies” were poetic representations of insects, birds, or plants. This was a way to educate kids on nature. In Victorian children’s literature, fairies were responsible for painting the flowers, decorating the autumn leaves, or bringing snowflakes. Students will explore and discuss Grō Forest’s Flora & Fauna, examine the changes it undergoes as our seasons change, and with a little Pixie Dust. Science experiments will dazzle the mind and hands-on activities will tickle their imagination.
