Zoo Sprouts! 18 to 23 Months

Begin your journey into nature here. Join our education staff and other Sprouts as we feature our different animals. This program is designed specifically for 18 to 23 month olds and their favorite adult to spend time connecting with the natural world and each other. We will explore how our animals move while giving children the opportunity to mimic that movement. This program is sensory driven, with activities intended to develop fine motor skills, and will also feature the chance to meet and touch animals up close in each class!
