Toddlers and preschoolers will explore nature through tactile activities and crafts at this special "messy" event. Children, from walking to age 5, will have a blast getting messy while learning to discover the world around them.
Activities include sand exploration, mud and dirt fun, water play, watercolors, face painting, learning how to make nature crafts and more. Children should wear clothes that can get really dirty!
The cost is $15 per child. Parents are free.
Messy Play Day will be held Saturday, October 7 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Endangered Wolf Center in Eureka.
