There are so many textures and patterns in nature! We'll spend some time outside exploring them with our eyes and hands. We'll count the points on leaves, look for soft moss and lichen, count how many different types of bugs we can find, and explore some soft and furry touchables as well. Children will take home a scavenger hunt activity that they can do in their own neighborhoods!
Suggested ages for this program is 2-5 years old. The program is paced for walking toddlers and preschoolers. Older and younger children are welcome to attend but must be registered. All children must be accompanied by a registered adult.
