Share your enthusiasm for the natural world with children, even as temperatures plummet outside. This space is designed for hands-on exploration, through puppets, games, and craft supplies. We also have a library of more than 40 kids' books about plants, animals, fungi, and their habitats. A sandbox with many potential animal inhabitants lets the youngest explorers engage in creative wildlife encounters.  

Everyone is welcome to stop in the Kids' Corner, which is open during regular campus building hours. To arrange for activities tailored to your class or youth group learning goals, contact Dorothy by email or call 766-6279.

The kid-friendly microscope magnifies seeds, insects, fossils and more to fifteen times life-size. We have provided a number of items to view, but don't be limited by our choices--many small, natural objects will fit under the scope.
