What’s News - September 2008
We have two special events coming up this month, besides our “Birds” session. On Tuesday, September 23rd, Nature Tots is teeming up with Cotati Creek Critters to present a FREE class about Bees! This class, held from 10-11am, will teach two to five-year olds (with parent attending) about bees and their importance in pollinating our crops and wild plants. Class will include bee stories, songs, and crafts, as well as an easy-going walk along the Laguna de Santa Rosa in Cotati to look for bees and other pollinators. There will be an 8-child maximum in this class, so please register by calling 707-333-1331 or emailing stephanie@naturetots.com to get on the list and get directions on the meeting place. If you’ve been thinking about giving Nature Tots a try, this free class is a great opportunity!
The other event is the Rohnert Park Cotati Mother’s Club-sponsored carnival on September 13th, from 11am to 3pm at La Plaza Park in Cotati. Nature Tots will have a booth at the carnival featuring some fun nature-related crafts and some cool bug-related freebies!
See you outdoors!
