Sensory Play Saturday - Nature Sounds

Attention parents of toddlers: have you ever wanted to do sensory play activities with your child, but it looked like too much prep time or too big of a mess? You are in luck! We will be hosting sensory play days at Creek Bend Farm the first Saturday of each month. The June program will be nature sounds themed and have opportunities for your child to explore and learn about nature using all five senses. Your child will also be making a craft and a small snack will be provided. Registration is required, and please register only the child.
