Wildlife Wednesday! Did you know that the Tasmanian Devil from the Bugs Bunny cartoons is an actual animal? The real Tasmanian Devil lives on Tasmania which is an island south of Australia and is about the size of a small dog. Unlike the cartoon version, the Tasmanian Devil is quite slow and doesn’t actually travel by spinning in a small tornado. #TasmanianDevil #Animal #Cartoons #YXEKids

Trivia Tuesday! A fact that may surprise yourselves and the littles is just how many times we blink! In a minute, we blink about 20 times or so. Ask the littles (and maybe yourself) how many times we blink, on average, in a year! The answer: TEN MILLION! #Blinking #Eyes #YXEKids

Wildlife Wednesday! Have you ever seen an animal that was so fluffy? Ask your littles what kind of animal that they think this this? This is the Angora Rabbit! They kind of look something like a cat that has touched a power line, a cotton ball with a face, or a sheep that's been through a straightener. What animals did the littles suggest this was? #Wildlife #WhatAnimalIsThat #SoFluffy #Rabbit #YXEKids

It’s Munching Monday! One of the best ways to get the littles and even the big kids more adventurous with food is to have them helping with meals or being more independent and making meals and snacks themselves! This link has a great number of recipes that might interest you and the whole family! Link in the Comments (FB) or Bio (Insta) #Recipe #KidFriendly #Food #YXEKids

It’s Trivia Tuesday! Want to hear a fact about space? Space is silent! There is no atmosphere in space, which means that sound has no way to travel to be heard. Astronauts use radios to stay in communication while in space, since radio waves can still be sent and received. All those pew pew noises that can be heard in movies during space battles... definitely can't happen sadly. #Space #silence #ScienceIsReal #PewPew #YXEKids

Good reminder for us as we raise those littles!
