In addition, we request a deposit of 50% to be applied towards crafting supplies.  

Bug Hunts This Way
Learn about all the creepy, crawly & flying bugs in the Garden & some interesting facts you didn't know about bugs! Each child will get to embellish their bug catcher cup for the bug hunt, complete with one toy “bug.” 
We have a sweet little craft called the "Bug Jar" where they can put their fingerprints on each insect in the jar.  This is a special memory keepsake for their parents!  Education, crafts & bug hunt equal lots of fun exploring nature.
