Critter Tales

Reading comes to life as we combine children’s books, biofacts, and a live animal in this adventure for children ages 3 – 5. Content depends on featured animal (i.e., an armadillo, ferret, hedgehog, lizard, owl, or a snake).

Animal Hide-N-Seek

Animals have colors and patterns for a reason. Compare fur, feathers and scales to see if they are hiding or warning of danger.

Egg-cellent Babies

Compare the colors, shapes, and sizes of eggs and discover why they are a safe place for a baby to grow.

On the Go

Slither, soar, and stroll as you explore the different ways animals move.

Smell with Your Tongue

See it, hear it, smell it, and touch it! Experience the uncommon ways animals use their common senses. (For groups of 40 or less.)
