Hey Parents and Preschoolers! Looking for some hands-on learning about the natural world all around you? Join a Naturalist at Shawnee Prairie for a monthly, hour-long program designed to investigate nature through activities, games and exploring. There are programs for 2-3 year olds (held on Wednesdays) and a program for 4-5 year olds (held on Thursdays).December’s topic is A Wish to Be a Christmas Tree. Owls are secretive and oh so intriguing. We will read the charming tale of an overgrown tree’s wish to go home with a family for Christmas. We will also talk about the different types of conifers and what makes them so special! December’s 2-3 year old dates are the 11th and the 18th and the 4-5 year old date will be the 12th. Each program runs from 10-11 am. Parents must attend along with their preschooler. Pre-registration is required and the cost is $2.00.
Also coming up in January we will learn about Chickadees and February’s topic is Maple Madness! Call the Nature center for more information at 937-548-0165. We hope to see you in March!
