The Kansas Wetlands Education Center’s Turtle Tots, a nature-based program developed for preschool-age children, ages 3 to 5, continues from 10:15-11:15 a.m. on Feb. 10, with the program “Cozy Animals.” Participants will read a book about how animals stay warm in the winter, explore furs, meet one of the KWEC’s furry ambassadors, conduct some simple experiments and make a craft.
March’s program, “Eye Spy Animal Eyes,” 10:15-11:15 a.m. on March 17, will investigate animal sight.
