This special time is for pre-school age children, 3 to 5 years of age. Each month will have its own nature theme. Indoor and outdoor activities are planned. Parents may attend with their child if desired. Limited to 12 children each session.
Knee-highers will learn how animals hear, touch, smell, taste and see through live animals, crafts and activities. Come guess what is in the "feely bag", experience the smells of nature, and go on a nature hike.
With longer days and warmer temperatures during the middle of April it will be a good time to look for some signs of spring. Join us as we take a walk outside, listen to a story, make a craft and get up-close with some animals while learning about our spring season.
Holes in trees, nests, burrows, bird houses and ponds are all places where animals can find shelter and raise their young. Come and be a nature detective and look for clues to where animals live here at the nature center. A story and craft are also planned as well as some dipping in the pond.
Registration will start for the Spring Series of the Knee-high Naturalists Classes on February 17th, 2012. Please call (616) 355-1057 or stop by the nature center to register.
Fee: $20.00 for Holland City residents and nature center members;
$30.00 for non-City residents
