Calling all Fairies, Elves & Imps! Fire up your imaginations by creating your own Fairy Village. We inspire students by teaching them the basics, showing them inspiring examples, and reading a fairy story. Then, students go outdoors to create fairy houses, parks, gardens, or whatever they're inspired to build! We will look at each other's magical creations, hear what inspired each creator, and explore what they learned in their building process. This collaborative outdoor experience encourages creativity, problem-solving, and a fresh look at nature's small wonders. Some materials may be provided, but bringing your own is encouraged! Note: Fairy houses will be built to remain where they are with natural materials you bring and we provide. Please only bring biodegradable and native materials.
Thanks to the generous support from Great River Hydro, The Nature Museum brings free environmental education programming to public libraries and the Bellows Falls Fish Ladder and Visitor Center during the summer months. These engaging free programs highlight topics related to the unique ecology and landscape of Northern New England.
Geared toward ages Pre-K through elementary grades, all ages are welcome. Programs will be 45 minutes long with dedicated time for a story reading and any nature-related questions you may have for our expert educators.
No registration is necessary. Library programs will be outdoors with lots of space for everyone, and inside during inclement weather. Join us to unplug, discover, and learn!
