In early March, the garden will be giving home-schooling families an opportunity to engage in some hands-on learning. It is for kids who are at least six years of age will be a drop-off activity.
The learners will discover a wealth of facts about these amphibians, including that the state is home to more variety of species than anywhere else. The group will listen to a story and them learn more about these shy creatures and how they have adapted to survive in a variety of environments. There will also be some crafting, and each child will head for home with a special creation they have made on their own. A $5 supply fee will be charged.
Offering kids hands-on activities like this that make learning fun is one way for botanical gardens to create future environmental stewards. Stationery printers will be able to craft large, full-color photos of salamanders so that the learners can discover their coloration and skin patterns.
