Winter Bug Sports!

I was getting withdrawal symptoms - there are few bugs about in the depths of winter, but my daughters found a Snail Racing printout whilst we were having a January clear out, so we made it and had our very own Snail Race!

I really didn't think they'd manage to find any snails, but they came back into the house with no less than 32 little "snailets" (my children are well trained in bug hunting)!

Spikey (Orange), Sticky (purple) and Smelly (green) raced to the finish... and the winner was... Smelly!!!

You'll be pleased to hear that no snails were harmed during the making of this race and we released them all back into the wild, exactly where we found them!

Happy Days!
