Searching for
Spiders for September Preschoolers at DCP
Darke County Parks Naturalist, Mandy Martin, invites preschoolers to
join her for the September Parent and Preschool Adventures programs.
The “Little Explorers” classes for 2-3 year olds will be held on
September 7th from 10am to 11am, and the “Seedlings” class for 4-5 year
olds will be held on September 8th from 10am to 11am, both at Shawnee
Prairie Preserve on St. Rt. 502 west of Greenville. The Parent and
Preschool Adventures program is a series of monthly, hour long programs
designed to give parents and their preschoolers and opportunity to
investigate nature through hands-on activities, hikes, stories, songs,
and take-home projects.
The September program will feature spiders. On early fall mornings
there happen to be an abundance of spiders. Whether the webs are
intricately created or messy cob webs, spiders are intriguing and
useful. Participants will search for different types of webs and a
variety of colorful spiders. A fee of $2 is charged for the program,
and preregistration is required. For any questions about the preschool
programs or any other park district programs or to register for the
September class, please call 548-0165 or email
info@darkecountyparks.org.
