Toddlers make seed necklaces and pot flowers to take home at Wehr Nature Center.
Part I
About this event
Little Wonders for Twos: Seeds & Sprouts is a charming program designed for toddlers and their caregivers to explore the beauty of nature together. Hosted at the Wehr Nature Center, this event offers a mix of storytelling, crafting, and nature exploration. Kids will enjoy the beloved story "Planting a Rainbow" by Lois Ehlert and create their own magic seed necklace.
The program includes potting a flower to take home and a walk to see spring wildflowers, making it a perfect blend of education and fun. With a small fee and the requirement to register online, it's a great opportunity for little ones to engage with nature and learn about the life cycle of plants. Be sure to arrive early to secure parking and enjoy a peaceful morning in nature.
