GRUESOME!!


	The platypus is a unique animal that lives in Australia. Although it lays eggs like a bird, it's a mammal. A platypus mother feeds her babies with milk from her body. The platypus spends much of its time in the water. It paddles with its front feet and steers with its back feet. The platypus scoops through the sand with its bill in search of worms and small water animals that it eats. The male platypus has sharp spurs and venom sacs on its back feet. It can scratch its enemies and poison them with its venom.

Tie Dye Flowers

Take a white carnation and slice the stem into several strips.

Put each strip into water coloured with different food-colouring.

You may have to prop up your flower.

In 2 days the water should have moved up the stem and you will have a coloured flower.

Try this with a stalk of celery - does it work?

Take a picture of your flower and send it in (as a jpeg or mail it as a print), and Global Forest will post it in the GF-Gallery along with your name and we will send you a GF sticker for your collection.
