Our first meeting of the new Cloverbuds year was wonderful! The Cloverbuds played some get-to know you games to start off our year, and since the weather was beautiful we were able to have the whole meeting outside! The children played duck-duck-goose to practice each other’s names and to get all warmed up. Next up, members played get-to-know-you-BINGO and learned a lota about each other. Finally, the Cloverbuds practiced the fun sport of jumping rope, encouraging each other and having lots of bouncy fun together. We had a wonderful time, and are looking forward to our October meeting! New members are always welcome! Here is what we will be up to:

Monday, Oct. 7, at 5 pm: Plants and Animals 4H Learning Theme. We will be learning about the pumpkin life cycle. Members will create pumpkin life cycle books. We will paint mini pumpkins. Additionally, members will taste some pumpkin treats! Come and join the fun!
