    This just in: Sloths might be known for chilling high up in the trees most of the time, but they journey down every once and a while. Once a week, they make a special trip from their tree hang outs to do their “business” in what some experts call THE POO DANCE. If this animal poop factoid is of interest to you (or just plain ol’ hilarious to the kids!) – dance on over to Earth Rangers to read more #2-rated trivia in their “Top 10 Facts All About Animal Poop.”

  • To all the kids (and kids at heart) who’ve had to sacrifice play dates with friends, David’s Tea has created a fun colouring sheet for some hands-on arts & crafts time. Expert tip: It pairs perfectly with some crayons and iced tea!
