The group met inside because of the very cold weather but the Wonder Bugs had fun discovering the few exhibits in the lobby including a small tree house and the EcoSphere. ![]()

While Ms. Suzy waited for the group to gather inside one of the Learning Labs, she brought a surprise for the Wonder Bugs, a surprise hiding in a mystery bag. The children tried to guess what was inside and strongly agreed on a car…but it was actually a groundhog puppet! ![]()

The Wonder Bugs listened to the story of the groundhog and its shadow and took a close look at a real stuffed groundhog. After snack, they crafted their own groundhog puppets and burrows with a cute little poem to read while playing with it.![]()

The bravest went outside for a short walk and to look for their own shadows. The 4°F (-16°C) temperature really felt like it was time to quickly retreat inside and that six more weeks of winter are to be expected!![]()
