LAST CALL for Cosmic Explorers Play Camp!

Our Play camps are designed for the bigs and the littles to learn, lead, and play together!

🔭We will be exploring hands on STEAM from the earth to the stars!
✨We'll be getting to know constellations through stories, slime, and creativity!
❔We'll play games, and become space literacy & fun fact pros!
🚀We'll build bases, forts, space ships and more with our Giant Magnetic Tiles!
👨‍🚀We'll have space themed Lego and Knex building challenges!
🎨We'll make spash painting galaxies and marble painting planets!

We'll play tennis, run through the field, paint, glue, make a mess and have SO MUCH FUN!

If you've been eyeing this camp, now is your chance to register! We take off next week!

SCARED OF BUGS?!?!!

Not our budding Entomologists!!

Today we got to take our Entomology Lab to Benson Village Schools K-2 classes, and had the BEST TIME!

🔎Invented a New Insect 💭
With a sprawl of craft materials to night their creativity, the students were encouraged to create a brand new insect! Keep in mind, insects have 6 legs! (Arachnids like scorpions and spiders have eight!) 

✨ Imagination Station: Entomology Lab 🐛 🥼
With an invitation of many sized containers to catch and keep bugs in, tweezers and tools to capture bugs, and magnifying glasses and a microscope to really observe them closely; students were SO BRAVE and they all were so interactive! I saw kids go from nervous and cautious to lighting up with joy as they were able to confidently catch and release bugs on their own! (This makes my Miss Jessie heart sooooo happy 🥹)

🏠 Giant Magnetic Tiles 🧱
And of course, our giant magnetic tiles were such a hit as these kids worked together to build and design structures! What a magnificent thing to be able to walk through a fort YOU build!

Clover Exploration can bring programs like these to YOUR school, camp, or organization! Our Imagination Stations generally feature 3 stations for kids to cycle between to keep the programming immersive, engaging, enriching, and filled with hands on learning through PLAY!

Introducing our ‘Color Research Lab!’
With many more improvements to come through time, it currently offers our color scientists space to:

💡 Explore color, shapes, & design on the light table.
🖐️Strengthening those fine motor skills through pouring, sorting, scooping, and transferring specimens - (a HUGE foundational skill for children under 10 that supports everything from writing and cutting to self-care tasks and independence!!)
🧪 Manufacture some potion recipes & concoctions of their own
📖 Read & follow recipe cards to create potions.
🔺Understanding patterns through potion recipes & themes.
✨Exploring aesthetics, patterns, and visual design.
🗣️Learning to express their ideas through imaginative play & communication.
🤝 Collaborating with other scientists to negotiate roles and ideas.

I’m always thrilled to have new theme ideas to work with, and this one will be sooo fun for both wet and dry materials! I can’t wait to turn this into one of our “Imagination Stations” for our mobile learning programs!!

Clover Exploration got to go to Benson Village School last week to have some engineering & structural design fun!

🍃 We went on a walk and noticed the incredible designs found in nature from waxy waterproof leaves, all the way to strong and flexible branches! Engineers, use ideas found in nature all the time for their structural and design work in architecture!

🧱 There were TWO Lego story stations where the students had to follow the challenges step-by-step and evolve their builds as the story progressed!

🏠 They worked in groups to build homes and structures using our GIANT magnetic tiles! This required so much communication, collaboration, and ongoing problem-solving to enhance and structurally support their builds! It’s always my favorite watching the groups work 🥰

I love going into schools and adding some hands on exploration & play to the concepts they’re already learning! Thank you for letting Clover be part of the learning, BVS!

Clover Exploration doing what we do best - facilitating hands-on, messy play that’s fun, engaging, and enriching for all ages! 🌋

Today, our young scientists explored baking soda and vinegar volcanoes while building fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and an understanding of the scientific method.

Some questions naturally investigated through this child-led activity:

🔍 What happens when you mix with a spoon versus sq**rt from a bottle?
🔍 What changes when you sq**rt slowly versus quickly?
🔍 What if you add the vinegar first and then the baking soda- or vice versa?
🔍 Can you create another reaction by adding fresh vinegar to used baking soda?
🔍 Does the amount of baking soda affect the eruption?
🔍 What happens if you change the size of the container?
🔍 Which combination creates the biggest reaction?
🔍 How can we make a prediction and then test if we’re right?
🔍 What clues tell us a chemical reaction is happening?

Thank you to everyone who came to explore through play today! Rain & shine 🌧️ ☀️
