Join us for our October Nature Explorers session, where we'll dive into the fascinating world of Animal Adaptations! Families can explore the ways animals have evolved to survive in their environments through fun, hands-on activities. Discovery stations for this month include:
• Create an Animal Camo Craft: Learn how animals use camouflage to blend into their surroundings.
• Seed Grasping Challenge with Beaks: Test different “beak” designs to see which works best for picking up seeds.
• Claws vs. Webbed Feet: Investigate how different types of feet help animals move in their habitats.
• How Baleen Whales Eat Without Teeth: Experiment to understand how these massive creatures filter food from water.
• Storytime Corner: Take a break to enjoy a nature-themed book.
These engaging activities typically take around 45 minutes to complete, so be sure to arrive with enough time to explore all the stations before the event ends at 1 PM!
