Young Botanist Badge

Does completing a series of Science-related tasks to earn your "I am a Young Botanist " badge ring a bell? Well, I'm currently into my 5th badge now --- one more to go i.e. when no. 6 gets initiated into his in 1 year's time. Took no. 5 to the nearby fruiterer to collect the missing fruit seeds. Am waiting for him to complete his remaining 3 star-task before helping him to tidy up his presentation. Don't I get tired of repetitive tasks? Well, . . . it's kind of funny, . . .but no . . . I pretty much still enjoy doing their school stuff with each and every one of them. Every experience will yield different kinds of interactions and outcomes. And you'll be surprised how much more you understand each child as you watch them label their leaves and seeds, colour their sketches, do up their explanations and present their final projects.
