Nature Beginnings explored the Kindergarten Woods recently, looking for spring ephemerals!![]()
![]()
Bloodroot, trout lily leaves, and Siberian squill had already popped up all over the ground and each preschooler was so excited to find the different flowers blooming along the trail.![]()
![]()
The young children compared pictures of the flowers on their ID cards to the flowers they found on the ground. ID cards and guidebooks are a great way to help children identify and learn about plants, while also connecting with nature.![]()
![]()
Conveniently tucked in each trailside backpack are seasonal ID guides, and spring is all about the ephemerals in the Kindergarten Woods. Pick up a trailside backpack in the lobby or the unlocked cupboard near the West Entrance. Inside you will find these same ID guides as well as other resources, including binoculars, to help you explore in and engage with nature. ![]()
