earth day terrariums

Inspiration hit while taking a terrarium workshop at the Sweet Paul Makerie at Terrain. Megan's instruction was fun, easy and infectious,

 I knew I wanted to make these with the beehive kids. 

 I prepped a  kid friendly version, collecting small plants, ferns, stones, bark and moss.

 I opted to use plastic liners versus glass, not my first choice 

but the kids could create their environments with ease, securing the plants, moss and small stones. We topped the terrariums off with colorful model magic butterflies, snails, salamanders, frogs, ponds and oodles of assorted bugs.
