"Animal Adventure Hours" are content-rich programs crafted for 3-6 year olds. Each program includes related items from our natural history collection (bones, fur, eggs, skins, nests, etc.) designed to appeal to both a child's curiosity and playfulness. Sprinkled among some of the very best children's literature are engaging listening games and original activities. Construction of a simple craft related to the topic you choose will complete our time together.
