Remember the old days of mud pits and mud pies? Here is the chance to relive some of the joys of your childhood with your children. Powder Valley will provide the dirt, you bring the clean clothes for the ride home.
Adults, separate from the children, will learn about the importance of unstructured play and nature exploration for the healthy development of young children. At the same time, children will be supervised by naturalists as they use their imaginations to get down and dirty in a big pile of dirt! For ages 3-5 and their parents/caregivers.
Free. 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center.
