Winter Animals

Preschool - 3rd Grade

This program begins with a brief puppet show in which the students discover how different kinds of animals survive long, cold winters. After the show, we put away the puppets and bring out the real thing! The kids will have a chance to share what they learned from the puppets and add to that knowledge by meeting live animals, as well as through discussion and question and answer time.

4th Grade - 6th Grade

For this age group, our build-a-beaver activity takes the place of the puppet show, and the naturalist will lead a more in-depth discussion of winter survival.
