Fairy Houses Building (NOTE: This program is 1 hour)
Calling all Fairies, Elves & Imps! Fire up your imaginations by creating your own Fairy Village. We inspire students by teaching them some building basics, showing them some inspiring
examples and reading a fairy story. Then, students take to the outdoors to create fairy
houses, parks, gardens, or whatever they’re inspired to build! We will take a look at each other’s magical creations, hear what inspired each creator, and explore what they learned in their building process. This collaborative outdoor experience encourages creativity, problem solving, and taking a fresh look at nature’s small wonders. Some materials may be provided but bringing your own is encouraged! Note: Fairy houses will be built to remain where they are with natural materials that you bring and we provide. Please only bring biodegradable and native materials.
Thanks to the generous support from Great River Hydro, The Nature Museum is excited to once again bring free environmental education programming to Whiting Library and the Bellows Falls Fish Ladder and Visitor Center during the summer of 2023.
These programs aim to be engaging and highlight topics related to the unique ecology and landscape of Northern New England. These programs are geared towards youth ages Pre-K through elementary grades, but all are welcome! Programs will be 45 minutes long with dedicated time for a story reading and any nature related questions you may have for our expert educators. Library programs will be outdoors on good weather days and indoors on bad weather days. Join us to unplug, discover, and learn!
The Nature Museum is a regional resource for nature, science, and environmental education in the Vermont and New Hampshire communities of the Connecticut River Valley. The Museum provides information and experiences that engage and enlighten our audiences and inspire stewardship of the natural world.
