We had 2 different tours of 2 different nature centers this week. Here is the one we toured today.
1/28/10
The tour was about:
REPTILES
Live animals, skulls, models, skeletons, and shells are used and discussed during the program that covers reptile characteristics, adaptations, development, conservation, and common species. They got to hold several turtle skulls, snake skin, etc. Very hands on!
The kids got to pet this baby alligator
alligator skull
turtle shell
Fritz the gopher tortoise (JJ got a kick out of the tortoise having the same name as his daddy & it being a girl w/ a boys name!)
JJ petting a snake
Craft (joint colaboration)
snake craft
The kids were given scavenger hunt sheets to find animals, etc. inside their nature center
snapping turtle

How fun! I love these hands on exhibits:)
Looks like they had a blast! I am going to make plans to take the boys their soon!
