Winter Critters
Sunday, December 7

Winter: the coldest season of the year. For many, it’s a time of hibernation and inactivity. But for some marine critters, it’s a time of mingling and action. We invite toddlers and their parents/guardians to join us for a fun, wintery experience.
Please note: The sensory bin will have fake snow made from shaving cream and baking soda. Another station will have animals frozen in ice and may get messy.
Allergens: Blue food dye
