Wander Wednesday: Invitation to Draw, Snail Studies

 Invitation...

...accepted!

Our snail studies are admittedly being cut short by, lack of specimen.
A few weeks ago, we came across a lot in the city being clear cut for building. Snails by the hundreds showed up for Spring. There was intense interest, so I started ordering library books and projecting possible activities.
As we were gearing up, snails were disappearing.
Not interested in being the specimen for our science projects!

So we're winding down this week with a simple 'invitation to draw' and posting our project idea's below for future.
