Music in Nature
December 2, 10-11am
The crunch of leaves, the babble of the stream, the whistle of the wind, there is music all around us! This week we are going to be exploring with our ears as we listen for the music that nature produces. We will also use nature as our inspiration to create our own musical instruments.
Magnificent Mammals
December 9, 10-11am
Let’s get ready for winter by looking to the animals that do it so well, mammals! This week we will head out to the trails to look for evidence of mice, deer, and even foxes. We will look for mammal homes, and learn how they survive the coming winter.
Magic in Nature
December 16, 10-11am
There is magic out in nature; can you see it, hear it, or feel it? We’ll go on a search for signs of the fairies, trolls, and other magical friends at Baltimore Woods. Do you know any magic? We bet you do! Let’s make potions and create cozy homes for our new friends!
