Parent and Preschooler Adventures

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).  March’s topic is Talkin’ Turtles.  We will check out the turtles in the Nature Center and learn more about these reptiles that are never in a hurry! March’s 2-3 year old dates are either the 19th and the 26th and the 4-5 year old date will be the 20th. Each program runs from 10-11 am.  Parents (or grandparents or aunts/uncles) must attend along with their preschooler.   Pre-registration is required and the cost is $2.00.  Also coming up in April we will explore Eidson Woods and in May we will go Toddlin’ for Tadpoles. Call the Nature center for more information at 937-548-0165. Visit our website at www.darkecoutyparks.org for a complete list of upcoming programs! We hope to see you in March!
