Description
Mother Nature tells stories involving nature. One story is an original story by Margaret herself called "How Calvin the Caterpillar Got His Wings". It is a story of a little caterpillar that wanted to be able to fly. He goes through metamorphosis and gets his wings. The other “A Tree for Me” is a favorite rhyming story found in most libraries with Mother Nature’s own special “twist”. Kids delight over her puppets such as the Venus flytrap, Audrey, and Mama Raccoon who is a nocturnal animal, and the yellow and red butterfly puppets. Mama Raccoon will help teach the children the difference between a nocturnal and diurnal animal. Students will learn examples of animals that fit into each category as well. Audrey (the Venus flytrap) will help teach the children what a carnivorous plant is and where the Venus flytrap lives! This show is full of ventriloquism, magical moments, and lots of fun!

Students Will
  • Learn what nocturnal and diurnal are and an easy way to differentiate the two.
  • Learn about Venus flytraps by listening and observing a Venus flytrap puppet named "Audrey"; They will learn that flytraps get their major nutrients from eating flies, and what a carnivorous plant is.
  • Listen and participate as a group in two stories that Mother Nature tells. They will participate through dramatic motions to help illustrate the stories. This can be done sitting at their desk in the classroom.
  • See the concept of metamorphosis demonstrated with an original story by Mother Nature about butterflies through the use of butterfly puppets
  • Be encouraged to ask questions in the classroom regarding the stories heard as well as seek information regarding the animals and plants presented in the presentation.
