Join Us for “Shapes in Nature” with Girl Scouts Greater Los Angeles!
Mark your calendars, scouts and families. On August 9, I'll be joining Girl Scouts Greater Los Angeles for a special day exploring the shapes hiding in plain sight all around us in the natural world.
Here's the schedule:
10:00 AM — Daisies
12:00 PM — Brownies & Juniors
We'll go looking for the circles, spirals, triangles, and branching patterns that show up in nature.
Each session gets its own hands-on project. Our Daisies will head outside to create their own patterns in nature, building designs straight from what they find on the ground. Our Brownies and Juniors will dig into tessellations — how shapes like triangles and hexagons fit together with no gaps and no overlaps, just like the patterns found in honeycomb or pinecones — and then make their own tessellation art to take home.
Scouts will walk away with a few new ways to see their own backyards (or their next national park visit), and hopefully a little more curiosity about the shapes they'll start spotting everywhere once they know to look.
Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors are all welcome. Can't wait to see you there!
