Growing in the Garden: September Programs - "Finding Fall Flowers" & "Rabbits Running Wild'
September 3-17, 2013 |
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum presents its hands-on program for preschool-age children “Growing in the Garden” this September. This program meets twice a month, to visit the garden at Macculloch Hall and explore environmental topics through a story, walk in the garden and art projects.
Finding Fall Flowers
On Tuesday, September 3 from 1:15 to 2 p.m. Macculloch Hall Historical Museum invites 3 - 5 year olds and their caregivers to learn about fall flowers in the garden. Children will hear a story, Eliza Wheeler’s Miss Maple’s Seeds, to hear one explanation of how seeds survive after autumn and through winter. In the garden, children will search out seeds, find fall flowers and make a fall-inspired craft to take home.
Rabbits Running Wild
Are there rabbits running wild in the garden at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum? On Tuesday, September 17 from 1:15 to 2 p.m. children 3 - 5 years old and their caregivers can search for the signs of rabbits in the garden. While in the garden, children learn how rabbits communicate with each other and what rabbits will eat during the winter when the fall feast of grass and garden crops is over. In addition to visiting the garden, children will hear a story about rabbits and make a rabbit mask to take home.
