Children's Activities
SAPLinGS (Science, Art and PLay in Garden Spaces )
Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, 10 a.m. – noon | Special Activities, times vary
Join us every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to noon for learning, hands-on activities and fun! Each month we focus on a different plant or nature-based theme. Science activities engage kids with cool science and hands-on learning that stimulates curiosity. Art activities focus on the process with open-ended projects that spark the imagination. Come climb in Toni’s Treehouse, make music with our natural instruments, and splash in the Mountain Stream in Hamilton Children’s Garden. Upcoming themes include:
January: Make Friends With Your Food: The Winter Garden
This new year, all we see is green – salad greens! Bundle up, because we’re diving into the world of cold-weather crops like broccoli, kale, and cabbage, and making friends with our food with mosaic salad crafts.
February: Sugar, Spice & Everything Nice
Come share your love for nature as we stir up something sweet at SAPLinGS. Paint with chocolate, and find out which plants your favorite goodies come from, like chocolate, vanilla, sugar, and more!
March: Birding in the Garden
What’s the word, bird? All eyes are on the skies this month as we learn all about these pollinators, pest-controllers, and seed-spreaders. Match birds’ beaks to their favorite snack, make your own birding binoculars, and find feathered friends all over the Garden with a bird scavenger hunt!
