Echolocation

This month it was Lyric's turn to host the Science play date for the four year olds in our group. We decided to we would learn about bats since Halloween is so close. We read a book about a bat's first night out to hunt for bugs, Hector's Escapades The First Night Out by Jane Scoggins Bauld.

We talked about echolocation and played a cute little game to help demonstrate how bats find their food. Poor J was being 'eaten' by Lyric and Story in this picture.

Here J is the bat and the other kiddos are the insects.

We also did a bat craft. I would include a picture, but both of the girls decided it would be much more fun to play than finish the craft... I will be sure to post a picture when we do finish them.

* Thanks J for the pictures. I took my camera to this play date and didn't take a single picture!
