Participants in last year’s gingerbread bird house class show off their bird houses. Pre-registration is required for the gingerbread house activity, with a deadline of Nov. 25.

Look no further than the Kansas Wetlands Education Center for a great family Christmas activity, during KWEC’s Holiday Open House from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday Dec. 3.

While the kids decorate gingerbread birdhouses, adults can take advantage of specials in the gift shop and enter a contest for a $50 gift certificate. KWEC supplies the candy decorations, icing, birdhouses, and cinnamon bird ornaments, and cleans up the mess, all for free.

Preregistration is required for the gingerbread birdhouse activity, with a limited number of seats available. Participants may sign up for one of three sessions held every 45 minutes: 9:15-10 a.m., 10:15-11 a.m., and 11:15 a.m. to noon. The registration deadline is Friday, Nov. 25.

No registration is required for any other activities. To register and for more information call 877-243-9268.

Hum along to holiday music selections, enjoy Christmas cookies and warm beverages and get some fresh air during a nature hike scavenger hunt. Find KWEC’s Christmas goose and earn the opportunity to win a $50 gift certificate to KWEC’s gift store. He’ll be hiding somewhere within the Center. Gift store shoppers may also purchase one item at 40% off, excluding consignment items.
