Webs, Wings, and Water
Starting May 2022
Join us in our garden as we learn about butterflies, spiders, and water. Butterflies are more than just beautiful, when you see them in your garden, it’s a sign that it’s healthy! We will learn about how to make your own “garden” around you healthy and how to share that with all you meet.
Did you know that there are more than 37,000 kinds of spiders? All those types, yet they’re all connected. We will learn about how in the same way, we humans are all connected.
Nancy will tell the story about how the grandmother spider stitched up the sky. And Nancy and Waco will sing “There Was an Old lady Who Swallowed a Fly”
Also joining Nancy and Waco are Larry, Lili, and Malachi the Butterfly.

More About the Show
Opener: We meet Deet Deet, an alien who crash-landed in Nancy’s backyard. Deet’s translator is broken and he cannot speak an earth language, but Nancy knows enough Martian to translate for us and we learn the rules for the show: sit on your bottom, keep your hands and feet to yourself, and no talking during the show.
We learn that each of Nancy’s children has found a favorite book to read and learned one science fact that they want to share with us.
Lili Weasel is dressed like Darth Vader. She wants to learn the song “Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill”, so Nancy attempts to teach her, but Lili misinterprets something at every turn. Along the way however we learn a lot about the water table and how we all need to conserve water and learn to care for the earth. We also learn about Jill’s compassion for her brother and how we can be more like her.
Larry the Crocodile has read the book “Goldilocks and The Three Bears” and tells his own hilarious and completely inept version. But thanks to Larry’s version we learn about not going in strangers’ homes, not breaking others’ things, saying “I’m sorry” when we do the wrong thing, and that naps are good for you. Larry has also read about gravity and thinks he can defy it by the “power of his magnificent brain” he learns differently however – we are all bound by the same rules.
And last but not least sweet and amazingly cute Waco the Weasel is dressed like an astronaut even though he thinks he’s too little. We learn that Commander Jim Weatherbee who commanded the space shuttle four times was 6’4” but Jessica Meir, who recently walked in space, is only 5’4’’. When she was in the first grade Wendy’s teacher asked them to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up and Wendy drew a picture of herself as an astronaut on the moon! It’s important to have dreams! And it’s not your size that matters, it’s believing in yourself. It’s what’s in your heart that matters.
