The first Saturday Family Fun Day (SFFD) at A Time for Science was a success! Our 20 participants enjoyed a nice walk through the woods and learned a little about the plants and animals. We saw some interesting insects, turtle egg shells, and a kingsnake crossed our path! The intrepid interpreter, Leah Connell, managed to capture the kingsnake and show him around to the guests. Our non-venomous visitor was a little nervous, but none the worse for wear and slithered off happily into the woods to the sounds of our goodbyes. Our guests were very helpful in pointing out various interesting sights in the woods, and Leah was definitely appreciative of all the extra sets of eyes in finding the good stuff. Everyone had a good time on the walk; however all were grateful for the air conditioning in the craft room when we got back!
The activity for this SFFD was to make picture frames. The frames we made from found sticks were really cool! The creativity flowed in the room and everyone’s frame came out a little different. We decorated them with twine, raffia, and bits of nature we found along the path. Some of them even had living leaves on them! The workmanship from such young (and slightly older) hands was very impressive. Thanks to all for making our first SFFD such a great time! We’re looking forward to next month!
