During Block Party Day I volunteered teaching kids to make buildings out of handy materials. Donated rolls from paper towels, cardboard and construction paper were excellent materials to build colorful “city”. Weather was good and everyone had fun.
There is a good way to help bees survive-planting flowers which give them food. Bees need our help. Wild bees live alone or in small colonies and I plant certain flowers which they can get pollen from.
