Your mission
Pollinators need connected places to rest and refuel. You will plan one with an adult and observe who visits.
What you’ll need
- A shallow dish and clean pebbles
- Water
- Pollinator-friendly plants approved for your area
- Paper and pencil for observations
Steps
- Ask an adult to help choose a safe outdoor spot.
- Choose local flowers that provide nectar or pollen.
- Place pebbles in a shallow dish and add just enough water.
- Leave space for pollinators to land safely.
- Observe from a distance. Draw or write what you notice.
Reflect
- Which visitors did you notice?
- What might make this rest stop even safer?
- How do plants and pollinators help one another?
