Parent and
Preschooler Adventures
Darke County Parks...
Hey Parents and Preschoolers! Looking for some hands-on learning about
the natural world all around you?
Join a Naturalist at Shawnee Prairie for a monthly, hour-long program
designed to investigate nature through activities, games and
exploring. There are programs for 2-3 year olds (held on
Wednesdays) and a program for 4-5 year olds (held on Thursdays).
March’s topic is The Whoo’s, What’s and Where’s of Owls. Owls are
secretive and oh so intriguing. Many of Ohio’s owls begin nesting
in February or March, while other birds are just trying to keep
warm. We’ll listen to the calls, talk about what they eat, and
learn as much as we can about these ‘tigers of the night.’
March’s 2-3 year old dates are the 16th and the 30th and the 4-5 year
old date will be the 17th. Each program runs from 10-11 am.
Parents must attend along with their preschooler.
Pre-registration is required and the cost is $2.00. Also coming
up in April we will celebrate the Earth and in May we will learn about
life in a Log House. Call the Nature center for more information
at 937-548-0165. We hope to see you in March!
