Little Explorers

All About Evergreens

Some trees keep their leaves all year round. We'll walk amongst our evergreens to learn first-hand about their needles and cones. A "piney" craft project will finish our time together.

Fur, Feathers and Winter Coats

We will compare the wonders of fur and feathers to an old winter coat to see how animals keep themselves warm in the winter.

Have a heart for our bird friends

Children will learn the special function of bird's beak.  Children will eat like a bird, tasting pasta (worms), raisins (insects) and sunflower seeds.  Children will also examine bird feathers and nests. A walk outside to look for birds, and a bird feeder project are included.

Turtles

We will look closely at the turtles in the nature center to see their similarities, and differences. Children will hold and help feed the turtles.
