October 6 - The Color Brown

From the bark of Anacua Trees to the feathers of Clay Colored Thrush, the color brown is ever lush in our forest. Bring your tot to explore the nature of brown, from beings gathering to eat Anacua Berries, to the living breathing soil that holds us on the ground. 

Tots will:

  • · Begin with Welcoming Song and a Tree Trunk Story.
  • · Participate in mud play provocations. 
  • · Engage in Clay Colored Thrush connection trail. 
  • · Practice building a sense of place through the color brown. 

 

Forest Tots will Return Dec 3 - Dec 22 (Spring Classes return Jan 3)
