We made a Snailery! 🐌🐌🐌 Check out our new pet Snails! Despite anything you may believe, snails can actually make fantastic pets! After all... - They’re quiet - They don’t take much work - A simple home set-up for them is cheap and easy to make - Children can handle snails (It is fine to hold a snail but ensure you use proper health practices and wash your and your child’s hands straight after holding a snail. Also, I’d suggest that children be fully supervised as people can get sick if they eat snails) - They may be slow but they can be incredibly interesting/mesmerising to watch! - They are a unique pet - They require no special, expensive food and their diet can be mostly left-overs from your fridge The Three Beans have been having a great time learning all about Snails and setting up a home for them,to keep a few as pets! Last week, as part of their home learning, they were reading the story of ‘Jasper’s Beanstalk’. In the story, one night, Jasper heads out into his garden to collect all the slugs and snails in his garden to stop them eating his bean plant! Well, this sparked a bit of interest in them (or, in the snails at least...not so much the slugs!) and we just ran with it from there...”we have snails in our garden, don’t we, Mummy? Do they eat all your plants?” (I’ve recently taken up a bit of gardening myself and yes, yes they do, as it turns out! 😂) So, we decided to head out into the garden and take a look! There are some great Snail related fact sheets and activities available on @twinklparents @twinklresources , so I printed some off for us to look at, including a sheet all about how to make your very own snailery!
