Nature Explorers Stories and Crafts - Underground Friends

Summer Nature Explorers is a free program for preschoolers through 5th graders - though learners of all ages are always welcome! We will meet every Tuesday at Diamond Lake Park.  Some weeks will be a nature story and craft, others will be a short science lesson or outdoor activity. The same program will be offered at 10 am and 1 pm, come to whichever works for your family's schedule. Feel free to bring a picnic to eat in the shelter before or after your program.

This week we'll be looking at the important biology under your feet! We'll read a few books about our underground friends, do a squirmy worm craft, look at real worms, and think about badgers and some of the other critters who make their home in the ground!

RSVPs are not required, but they are always appreciated!
