2 To advertise, please call www.kidscoop.com © Vicki Whiting April 2021 We here at Kid Scoop News like to think of the environment in April. From the saying that "April showers bring May flowers" to Earth Day and Arbor Day, we are nudged into feeling warmer weather and longer days are on their way. The word April comes from the Latin word aperire which means to open and so indicates a season when flowers open and bloom and animals come out of hibernation. Our animal this month is the Tasmanian Devil. They live a long way away from American shores, but they are fascinating creatures and do hide in dens during the day and come out to forage at night. You've heard of "raining cats and dogs"? Our April Showers feature has a puzzle based on a variation of that theme, but the page also explains why it rains and there's some great weather jokes too. Arbor Day is April 30 this year and we have this challenging puzzle page and the reason why we celebrate trees. Easter falls on April 4 and Easter wouldn't be Easter without the Bunny Buddies. Instead of dying eggs this year, try these eggstraordinary experiments—can you drop an egg into a bottle with a narrow neck, or make an egg float? Great scientific fun! Then find a friend and see if you can make an origami Easter card together or draw the Easter Bunny following the step-by-step instructions. Let's stretch out our bodies, shake off those winter blues and welcome the month of April and the spring!
