Spring Sense-Sations April 5, 2011

Celebrate all of your senses! Use your eyes to find the colors of spring, and meet someone with really keen vision. Feel the hen's silky feathers and the wool of a sheep. Which is softer? Who is the stinkiest animal on the farm - is it the pig? Who makes the most noise? Where are the quiet places? Imagine living under water - which senses would you use? Let's cook up a tasty farm treat and meet someone who tastes the air. Each week we will focus on a different sense culminating in a sense-sational explosion of all of our senses in our final week. - - All ages welcome, but oldest child must be at least 2. - - Fees apply to all participants, both adults and children. "Backpack babies" (under 12 months and carried in a backpack or sling) are welcome free of charge, but please mention these participants when registering.
