July Activities: Fossil Finds 
Step into the boots of a paleontologist in July as we explore dinosaurs and fossils together! Use magnifiers to examine real fossil finds, create dinosaur footprints, and search through our “dino dirt” sensory bin to discover your own replica fossils. Through games, building projects and sensory play, you and your child will practice scientific skills, including observation and prediction, while learning alongside new friends.
August Activities: Transportation Celebration
What’s your favorite way to get around? This month, we’re all about cars, trains, trucks, and planes as we explore transportation. Hone your matching skills by looking for similar airplanes, make comparisons by weighing toy trucks and cars, and build your own track to move trains all around town.
