'S' is for Silly Songs, Smiles and Small Creatures

10 a.m. Saturday, October 5, Dahlem Environmental Education Center

      Do you like to Sing Silly songs or do you have a great Smile and like to share it with other people?  Are you the kind of youngster that enjoys learning about and looking for Small creatures?  Do you wonder what creatures are still lurking around during the fall?  Are there any insects or any other crawling creatures hiding in the woods?  If any of these things are true and you are between the ages of 5 and 10 years old, then the Dahlem Environmental Education Center, a facility of Jackson Community College, is the place for you on Saturday, October 5 at 10 a.m. for another "Creature Feature."

      Be prepared to search inside and out while being a sleuth of the world's small creatures with Naturalist Susan Larson.  Starting inside youngsters will be introduced to some silly songs such as "My Brother Eats Bugs" and a short story or two.  Once outside the youngsters will use their nature detective skills in hopes of finding some small creatures.   Since creatures have their own mind and daily habits the guarantee of finding an abundant number of critters is unpredictable, but there is a guarantee of meeting a mystery live small creature.  Before departing for home, youngsters will use their creative skills and make a take home craft.

      Break out of your Saturday routine.  Come join us for a "Creature Feature" on Saturday, October 5, at 10 a.m.  Fees for the morning activities are $3 for non-members, and members are free.  Advanced registration is requested. Call the center at (517) 782-3453.
