Wonders of the Desert: Nature Play & Storytime

Wonders of the Desert: Nature Play & Storytime-Bats – We’ve gone Batty!

Join us for an enriching sensory adventure in Wonders of the Desert, where young children (ages 2–5) explore the natural world through play-based, developmentally appropriate outdoor activities. Guided by a trained nature-based educator, each session offers three to four fun hands-on experiences—like digging, building, crafting, and observing—designed to spark curiosity and build early learning skills. We’ll wrap up with a themed Storytime that ties everything together, helping little ones connect, imagine, and grow in nature. All participants will be given a Family Activity page in English & Spanish to extend the learning and fun at home.

Families will learn how desert bats live, including how they fly, sleep upside down, and use echolocation to find food. Children will discover the important role bats play in the desert ecosystem by controlling insect populations, and they’ll develop curiosity and understanding about these unique nighttime animals.
