Toddler Treks with Acorn Bear

Today was Beatrice's first session of the delightfully named Toddler Treks with Acorn Bear, a weekly series of educational nature walks for children 2-4 years old at Descanso Gardens.

Despite the grey skies and light rain, the group of toddlers gathered for songs and stories around the day's theme, "Frogs Make Me Happy." Then they did a frog-related craft (making a frog out of paper plates and affixing bug stickers to its outstretched tongue) followed by a walk around the gardens to look for frogs and other things.

Beatrice learned the words "spider web" and "pond," and though we didn't actually see any frogs because of the rain, she had a wonderful time watching fish in the pond, declaring them "funny" and "happy."
