park program






















We attended a program at our local park put on by the city's park and rec centers. This is the first time Linda has attended, b/c she just turned 3. It was such a nice time. the theme was about what animals make. they started out w/a book. They got to see a large empty wasp nest. They got to see a real bird's nest w/eggs in it. They made a spider web by standing in a circle and criss crossing yarn to look like a web. They lined up like ants, and made an ant hill passing items back and forth in a line. They got to see and touch real rats and see a rat nest. They got to see a hawk up close and touch feathers that had fallen off the hawk. They made a craft that looks like a honeycomb. They took a piece of construction paper and glued a white piece of paper to it. Then they took HoneyComb cereal and glued it on to the white part, making it look like a piece of honey comb. Then they took a bee and glued the bee on. Linda had a blast. This is a series of programs for the next 4 weeks (excluding spring break). I am excited to see what the following weeks hold for her. I'm so grateful to live in a place where there are so many activities for our children.
