Wonders of the Desert: Nature Play & Storytime

Wonders of the Desert: Nature Play & Storytime- Winter Fun!

CLASS IS NOW HELD AT THE SAHUARITA FAMILY RESOURCE CENTER

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.

Children and caregivers discover how the Sonoran Desert changes in winter, learning about cooler weather, seasonal plants, and animals’ adaptations. They build awareness of nature’s rhythms and develop curiosity about the desert’s unique winter life, fostering connection and appreciation for their environment during the cooler months.
