Nature Crafts at Riverbanks Zoo

On Saturday, December 6, Riverbanks Zoo will combine nature and crafts for a day of fun, hands-on learning for kids. Children ages 5 to 10 will learn about science and the wonders of nature in a fun, creative learning environment by participating in a class covering a wide variety of topics, including gardening, backyard wildlife and natural science. Kids will make unique crafts and gifts from natural items, such as flower petals, seed heads, sticks and stones. Participants will also create a variety of ornaments and crafts while learning how these natural items and materials were used by people years ago as tools before they became manmade conveniences.
