Ladybug Nature Walk at Essex Park – 10:00am
Register for this Ladybug Walk here: LINK
Ladybug Nature Walks are SLOW nature hikes for young children (ages 2-6) and their grown-ups. Children explore plants, animals, and rocks while practicing social and motor skills.
During a walk, each child borrows a backpack full of tools for exploring. Nature Educators guide children in small groups through a series of “Nature Play” activities. Classic activities include observing plants, digging for worms, catching bugs, investigating natural items with magnifying glasses, collecting leaves, and painting with water. We provide supplies and structure, but each child is encouraged to be creative in their play and exploration.
After the walk, stay for the Free Lunch + Play program from 11:30-1:00pm (located near SE 76th AVe and Center St.). Pick up lunch and participate in fun activities. Come visit us at our interactive “Travelling Nature Museum” tables!
