Farmer's Market Discovery #1: Tadpoles

On our first visit to the Farmer's Market this spring we stopped at an on-site man-made pond.  It didn't take long for my daughter's to spot all of the moving black "dots"  in the pond.  These "dots" were several hundred tadpoles.

This turned into a great opportunity to explain tadpoles to my daughters.  They thought it was cool when they learned that these are actually baby frogs.  Our plan is to check them out each week when we visit the Farmer's Market to watch them grow into full-sized frogs.  

With spring here, take advantage of the nice weather and take your kids out for walks at ponds, parks, or in our case, the Farmer's Market.  You never know what cool things you might find!
