Farm Animals Our farm animals always find ways to have fun and stay warm in the winter. But what warms them the most is having children visit and help take care of them. And there are many other animals to discover in the habitats around us, playing in the frosty air or simply looking for food. The joy of these visits and the discovery of scurrying, bounding, flitting, and soaring wildlife (or the tracks they left behind) will fill this winter morning at the farm. Children will also listen to stories, play games, and take home a project to remember their experience. Session for ages 3-5 or 6-8 available.

Compost Creatures Though the winter may freeze the soil, there are still tiny creatures busy at work. Children will have fun learning about these little critters that turn garbage into 'gold,' nurturing our soil, and helping our crops to grow.

And not only is this life in the farm’s compost piles but also in the woods. Children will also listen to stories, play winter games, and take home a project to remember their experience.

Art in Winter Nature is full of beauty, awe, and inspiration, even without the bright colors of spring and summer and the blazing leaves of fall. Children during this program will explore ways to recognize and capture the magical beauty of winter through different media and styles, playing art games, and discovering natural objects along trails and lacy patterns of ice hanging over moving water, not to mention the light and shadow made by leafless trees and winter sun. They may replicate this beauty or imagine it in new ways. By the end of the session, each child will have at least one piece of art to bring home with them.
