After going on hiatus during the pandemic, the Kansas Wetlands Education Center’s Turtle Tot Club, a series of nature-based programs developed for preschool-age children, ages 3 to 5, returns March 25, with “Gorgeous Green.” 

In celebration of spring, children will investigate the color green, looking at green animals, feathers and plants. They’ll make a turtle craft and conduct two simple hands-on experiments. If weather cooperates, they’ll go outside and look for green leaves.

The one-hour programs, offered at no charge, introduce young children to the natural world around them with sensory experiences, while reinforcing colors, shapes, math and fine motor skills. When possible, sessions include outdoor time. 

Programs run from 10-11 a.m. 

There is a minimum enrollment of six and a maximum of 12 children. Children must be accompanied by an adult caregiver and pre-registration is required by March 21.
