In appreciation of morning dew. 💦 These drops,

In appreciation of morning dew. 💦 These drops, found on a recent walk, remind me of the Namib Desert Beetle (Stenocara gracilipes, 3rd image). It harvests water from the early morning fog in southern Africa’s arid Namib Desert, an inspiration for fog-catching nets, self-filling water bottles, and more #biomimicry solutions. 💧 Video link in bio.

We owe so much to Little #Bees, and with this #son

We owe so much to Little #Bees, and with this #song by #BettyAndTheTurnips, we get to sing about it. This #stopmotion #musicvideo for children (link in bio to watch the entire vid) recognizes the vital role that #honeybees play in #agriculture and our #ecosystems.
🐝🍓✂️
Betty and the Turnips is a #childrensmusic project by songwriter, blacksmith, and environmentalist @bet.smith 🌳🍎🐝
The full video is also on TKSST.com. Plus, find more of Bet’s #musicforkids at BetSmithMusic.com/turnips

Why are some people mean? What’s fair? Why do I

Why are some people mean? What’s fair? Why do I keep procrastinating? How do I know what I really want? Big Ideas for Curious Minds: An Introduction to #Philosophy (link in bio), a #childrensbook for ages 8-12 from #TheSchoolofLife, dives into these questions and more with eye-opening “philosophical concepts from 25 famous thinkers, contextualized in relatable everyday scenarios.” It’s useful, thoughtful, and peppered with illustrations and prompts that keep things accessible for all ages.
📚
We’ve started reading one big idea at bedtime each evening, and in discussing it afterward, we’ve shared a few extra memories, points of view, and reflections with our kids that we wouldn’t have otherwise. And we’re hearing from them, too. A helpful prompt for introspection and conversation. I’m really glad that we picked this one up.

Baby #koala Elsa is featured in an @australianreptilepark #video on TKSST.com this week (link in bio for her story). 🐨🍼 She was just 7 months old in October and continues to thrive in their care. Thankfully, Elsa has not been in danger from the bushfires. 🌱
The plight of Australia’s ecosystems and communities has been on our minds, and no doubt influenced how many cute animal videos were added to TKSST.com this week. If you’d like to help, head over to @australianreptilepark’s account.

“You know, there are 200 million insects for eve

“You know, there are 200 million insects for every person on the planet. 200 million. I learned that from the #Science one.” - My 9 year old. 🐜🦋🦗 I’ve learned a lot from this ‘100 Things to Know About’ series, too. Science, in particular, includes a lot of facts that tie into videos on TKSST.com. Butterflies drinking crocodile tears. 🐊 Pencils and diamonds are made of the same stuff. 💎 Simple machines. ⚙️ Biomimicry! They’re great #books for perusing together.

Watching the sunset with #JamesTurrell’s #Skyspa

Watching the sunset with #JamesTurrell’s #Skyspace, Dividing the Light, at @PomonaCollege in Southern California. 🌄 From @latimes: “The magic happens at sunset, sunrise and on every hour throughout the night. Hidden LED lights illuminate the canopy from below. Turrell has programmed them to shift in intensity at twilight and dawn, depending on the season and time. This causes the sky that is visible through the nearly 16-foot-square opening to appear to be palpable -- less like a distant dome sprinkled with stars and more like a velvety chunk of color close enough to reach out and touch... Every night is different, depending on the weather, the smog, your mood.” #jamesturrellskyspace #lightinstallation #lightinstallationart
