We did a celebration at our local Ethical Society - potluck with evolutionary themed names for the dishes. We also read "On This Spot : An Expedition Back Through Time" to the kids. Another fun activity we did was to make fossils with clay and plaster of paris. It took some time for the "fossils" to dry, but they dried by the end of the platform and the kids were able to take them home with them. I love the way you introduced the different stages of evolution with each day. Very creative! Looking forward to keeping up with your blog. Very great post.

I knew I should have clicked into your blog sooner - a week of Darwin would have been terrific. I'm thinking we will have a belated Darwin Birthday Celebration next week 'cause I just was not on the ball. Thanks for these ideas! Darn it.

Donating books to your library system is a great way to help others find information. I made scallop burgers for the family on Sunday to start our week.

Excellent posts about Darwin Day Celebrations!! I'm loving it. I just wish I had found them just a few days ago!! My boys are 3 and 17 months so they wouldn't really get it yet, but I'll have these ideas for next year and the years to come and I can't wait! Great blog! Hey!!

I just found it the other night and have been anxious to see your ideas for celebrating Darwin Day. After searching all of our local libraries and bookstores, I was not able to find one single book about Darwin or evolution for my children. In fact, when I searched evolution as a subject in my library catalog, the results were all Bible related books!! I was shocked! I ended up ordering it from Amazon.com and I ordered a second copy to donate to our library. We are looking forward to a fun nature exploration in our backyard on Darwin Day. My kids are 5 & 3 so I think we will limit the celebration to 1 day and talk about all the living things we see outside and see what observations we can make. Have a wonderful weekend!
