Knee-High Naturalists Spring 2010 Sessions
Choose Monday OR Tuesday afternoons from 1:00-2:30

Wonders of Water! June 7/8, 14/15, 21/22, & 28/29
Give a child a creek and some rocks and they'll be entertained for hours! Water is a fascinating substance in all its forms and Mill Creek provides the perfect place to discover the wonders of water. We'll build boats out of various materials, don rubber boots to search for fish, frogs and polywogs, collect sparkling rocks, hunt for crayfish, and get a little wet. Rubber boots are required for this session.

All sessions meet in Rolling Hill Park, 1301 Rose Glen Road, Gladwyne
