Farm Animals

Monday, March 13

Monday, March 20 


 

Our farm animals always find ways to have fun and stay warm in the early spring. But what warms them the most is having children visit and help take care of them. And there are many other animals to discover in the habitats around us, playing in the fresh air or simply looking for food. The joy of these visits and the discovery of scurrying, bounding, flitting, and soaring wildlife (or the tracks they left behind) will fill this winter morning at the farm. Children will also listen to stories, play games, and take home a project to remember their experience.

Early Spring in the Woods

Tuesday, March 14

Tuesday, March 21 


 

Though the leaves have long fallen and many creatures have migrated or are finishing hibernation, the early spring woods are alive with sounds, sights, smells, and textures that will thrill children as they explore the many trails surrounding the farm, crossing brooks and marshes and passing other fascinating areas. Children will also listen to stories, play winter games, have boat races in the icy stream, and take home a project to remember their experience.

Compost Creatures

Wednesday, March 15

Wednesday, March 22 



Tiny creatures have been hard at work all winter long!  

 Children will have fun learning about these little critters (and see what new friends are emerging in spring) that turn garbage into 'gold,' nurturing our soil, and helping our crops to grow. They will dig in and sift through looking for life, eyes wide with amazement with each discovery and even by the heat that these decomposers create as they work. And not only is this life in the farm’s compost piles but also in the woods. Children will also listen to stories, play winter games, and take home a project to remember their experience.

Magical Creatures

Thursday, March 16

Thursday, March 23


 As spring emerges, so do the animals - and local fairies and gnomes!  Not only are many of the animals out and about during the winter, but so are the local fairies and gnomes. Children will explore the farm, woods, and meadows in search of traces of these elusive and magical creatures. Maybe they will find footprints, a home, or even catch a glimpse of one skipping or flitting through the trees. Then children will build cozy homes for the magical creatures that live closer to them. Children will also listen to stories, play winter games, and take home a project to remember their experience.

Early Spring Gardening

Friday, March 24


 

Children will not only learn about planting and caring for seasonal vegetables and fruits, such as sugar snap peas, and what helps them grow into healthy, organic food, they will also explore the connections every garden has with the rest of nature and even ourselves. Children will also listen to stories, play games, and take home a project to remember their experience.

Adventures in Spring

Thursday, March 16

Thursday, March 23


 Children will explore the secret areas around the farm, including the woods, meadows, and Ice Pond. The outing will open their eyes to new places and possibilities as they learn to navigate, observe, and create within the winter setting. They will use written and visual clues, maps, and compasses to discover locations, gathering new clues that will lead them to a final destination. Winter games will also be interspersed between the different clues.

Art in Spring

Friday, March 17

Friday, March 24


 

Nature is full of beauty, awe, and inspiration, especially as we transition from winter to spring!  Children during this program will explore ways to recognize and capture the magical beauty of winter through different media and styles, playing art games, and discovering natural objects along trails and lacy patterns of ice hanging over moving water, not to mention the light and shadow made by leafless trees and early spring sun. They may replicate this beauty or imagine it in new ways. By the end of the session, each child will have at least one piece of art to bring home with them.
