Carnivorous Plants

This past week at Taller Colibri, the kids have been working with carnivorous plants--as any parent knows, most children just go nuts for them! Lucky for us, we were able to find some for cheap at a gorgeous organic nursery here in Oaxaca -- we scored a sundew plant for all of 30 pesos, less than three bucks.



We also scored a venus flytrap and more to bring to the school site, where the students can enjoy watching the plants eat a few bugs.

The picture here is a drawing I made of a sun dew plant. Okay, so they don't really have eyes, I just added that for a dramatic effect.

Next up, Taller Colibri is doing a unit on magic. We'll look at the life of Harry Houdini and learn some tricks.
