During the late summer a dragonfly came to our garden, I think that the poor creature had been injured by a bird, as we are quite far from the lake. The children were fascinated, well Nuh was and Zuh was a bit scared. they are massive insects after all. The dragonfly was about 6 inches long and yellow/green black.

I asked the children if they would like to draw the dragonfly with the pavement chalks, Nuh was very excited and this is his picture of the dragonfly:
The Dragonfly stuck around all afternoon, it was definitely injured. He even landed on Nuh's picture, to much delight and a scream from Zuh.
The next morning when we woke up Nuh wanted to quickly go outside and see if the Dragonfly was still there, it was and it was very dead. We very gently placed him in our bug magnifier, so we could have a good look at him/her.
I had already prepared some resources the night before so that we could learn about the parts of a Dragonfly and the life cycle of the Dragonfly.
