Wow, what an awesome and jam-packed issue we havewaiting for you. This issue's theme is all about chameleons– those unique, crafty and colour-changing wonders found in themost well-hidden places! I loved learning all about the anatomy of chameleons and how they use different parts of their body to hunt, hide and thrive in the wild. Chameleons also have important lessons to teach us. Just like them, we can aRapt to our surrou\Ri\gs a\R a\y situatio\ Ee \R ourseldes i\ 1hameleo\s are also patient. They rely on their specially adapted skills and wait for the perfect moment to make their move. This is part of what makes them so hard to see, and helps keep them safe from predators in the wild. Practicing patience is not always easy, but slowing down is important for us to remember. Lastly, and most importantly, each of us is wonderfully unique! We should always remember to let the colourful parts of our personalities shine for the world to see – and to delight in seeing the cool colours of others too. We hope you enjoy this colourful, crafty issue. Stay curious, kids!
