Upcoming Spring Themes
Teddy Bears Picnic
May 24th & 25th
Bring your teddy bear and lunch out to the farm for a picnic!! This week we will have unstructured bear themed activities around the farm. Then come join us for a group circle time where you and your bears can listen and participate in the classic ‘Going on a bear hunt.’
Circle time will take place near the pioneer farmhouse at 10:30.
Birds & Nests
May 31st & June 1st
As Spring is in full swing, we have really noticed the birds out and about. Every year we have lots of barn swallow families nesting in our barns! We encourage you to bring your binoculars this week so your little ones can try to spot some birds around the farm. It’s so exciting to witness nesting and new life. Birds will gather twigs, grass, leaves, moss, mud and even small pieces of thread to build their nests. We will have a table set up with these materials for the little ones to try to build a nest. Just like the birds, they can stack and weave them and discover how hard it is and see how much work goes into building a nest. There will be other bird themed sensory tables to explore as well

BUGS
June 7th & 8th
Learning about bugs and insects is SO much fun for toddlers & preschoolers! Have you ever been with a group of children when one of them discovers a bug? The entire group will rush over to see and inspect. They are fascinated with insects. Letting them explore bugs by teaching them to be gentle and kind to the tiny creatures will be an experience they won’t forget and a life long lesson to respect and take care of our ecosystem. Come out to the farm and explore all sorts of toy bugs and insects.

Most Children get excited when they see a tractor on the road and love to watch them work in the fields. This week during little farmers get up close to the BIG tractors. The kids can climb in the bucket, sit in the tires for a picture or climb up the ladder and sit in the driver’s seat!!
We will have tractor themed sensory tables to play at for some messy, muddy fun!

Vegetable Garden
June 21st &22nd
Be ready to let the kids get their hands dirty! Gardens give kids the experience of being in nature and taking care of living things. Connecting kids with nature isn’t something that happens easily these days, with TV, video games, and hectic schedules all cutting into outdoor time. Vegetable gardens provide an environment where children can interact with and get curious about the natural world. The garden is also a place where kids can learn where some of their food comes from.
