Designed for our youngest nature lovers, Sprouts at Stowe invites children ages 2–4 and their grown-ups to discover nature through songs, movement, and hands-on creativity. Each 45-minute to 1-hour session features an age-appropriate nature theme with opportunities to sing, wiggle, explore, and create together. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, this program encourages curiosity and connection while giving children a chance to learn through play—with a parent, grandparent, nanny or other caregiver by their side. An accompanying adult is required to participate with each child. This is an active, movement-based program, so we'll spend part of our time up and moving! For the craft portion, we'll typically transition to tables where participants will work primarily standing. A limited number of chairs and ground mats will be available, but adults are encouraged to bring a chair if they would prefer to sit during portions of the program. < PREVIOUS CALENDAR NEXT >
