This week, I started clearing out this year's stuff to make room for next year's stuff. School stuff, that is. I found that there were several experimenty things that the boys haven't done, yet. Can't have that. This week, owl pellets.
Owl pellets are both gross and fascinating. If you don't think too hard about the fact that they are hairy, compacted, regurgitated owl dinner, and you kinda unfocus your eyes for the initial breaking up of the pellet, you can get through it.
It didn't bother M and Q at all.
Owl pellets are cheap. They don't require any specialized equipment, some tweezers and some tooth picks. You can print these charts for the price of ink and paper. And here's a funny video that we enjoyed a lot.
This kept M and Q busy for more than an hour. I even left to go get N part way through, expecting to return to scattered mouse parts and the two of them fighting over the computer. It did not happen, they were still at it!
