Tadpole Tales
With the Columbia Slough Watershed Council

We have finished our Spring 2010 season. Please check back this fall for October programming.

A specially designed program for parents and children ages 3-5, introduces little ones to the wonders of nature through hands-on exploration and inquiry. Join us for a short story, engaging activities, and fun take-home crafts. Themes will focus on all things spring, from birds and bugs, to frogs and flowers. Encourage your child’s natural curiosity for nature with this delightful parent-child program!

"Thank you for the Tadpole Tales event on October 7th. Our guide was excellent. She'd obviously thought a lot about how to really engage the kids and share some wonderful things with them. Bravo!"
