Go outside with a grown-up and look for places near water, wet grass, or a drainage edge where a dragonfly could sit. Look for reeds, sticks, tall grass stems, fence wires, or branches that give a clear view of open air.
Draw one perch Dash could use. Add water nearby, a tiny flying insect, and a safe route for Dash to fly without hitting branches or people.
Think About It: Which kind of perch would help Dash see the most insects: one hidden low in grass or one above the creek edge?
Grandma’s reminder:
“Dash is not showing off. He is simply faster than the mosquito’s whole plan.”
