Repost from @nytkids • Our followers voted this week for an #nytkidsproject they could do outside. So let’s go hunting for four-leaf clovers! People have long considered four-leaf clovers to be lucky. But they're hard to find: Scientists estimate that just 1 in 10,000 white-clover plants will have four leaflets instead of three. Still, "you have to believe they're out there," says Leslie Hirst, an artist whose fascination with finding four-leaf clovers began when she was in fifth grade. Her record is 333 clovers in a *single* day.  Ready to set your own? Follow along with these tips from Hirst and let us know how many clovers you find this weekend by tagging us in your posts using @nytkids and #nytkidsproject or by getting in touch with us by email at [email protected]. 🍀   🔍: Reporting by Malia Wollan 🎨: Illustrations by @ayakakeda 🙏: AD @kendelago _____ #nytkids #fourleafclovers #teachingresources #learningresources #editorialillustration #kidsillustration #kidlitart #kidlitillustration (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP_ZvkRjv6N/?utm_medium=tumblr
