CHILDREN'S STORYTIME!
This fall the Fullerton Arboretum launches a BRAND NEW children's story time series, for ages 4 to 7, which will be held in our fabulous Children's Garden! These story time programs will occur several Saturdays a month. During each program, we will read a story (sometimes two!) relating to the topic of the day. We will also do activities that match the topic, like games, crafts and projects. And of course, we will explore the children's garden and other neat parts of the the Fullerton Arboretum and learn about plants, animals and nature! Check out the topics and dates of the fall series of children's story time programs below and sign up today!
The stories told and activities explored will be geared at ages 4 to 7.
Children must be accompanied by a guardian. Check in at the Fullerton Arboretum Nature Center building.
Price: $10/ per child for non members. $8/ per child for Fullerton Arboretum members.
Any child participating and doing the activities must pay for the class. Non participating stroller kids or babes-in-arms will not be charged.
