What is it?
Each month, our storytime and art activities alternate between world culture themes (our Roots Series) and nature themes (our Outdoor Explorer Series).
The Outdoor Explorer Series is about exploring our natural world and creating a deeper connection with nature.
Get your hands dirty while learning about plants, animals, and the earth!
Each week features different books, activities, and other hands-on challenges around the month’s outdoor theme.
When is it?
Everyday, through themed storytimes and classroom activities.
