Kids Edition 2024: Carnivorous Plants

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2024

Hi, kids! We created a special Acts & Facts just for you! Have fun doing the activities while learning about the wonderful world God gave you to enjoy and take care of.

Carnivorous plants are crazy! Since most live in low-nutrient soil, they eat insects or other small animals to help them grow. They didn’t always have this diet, though. It wasn’t until the Fall that some plants turned into carnivores.
