Young zoologists and artists will have the opportunity to be kind and respectful towards animals and nature in this unique hands-on science and art program. Students will take an in-depth look at a variety of LIVE animals, learn about their unique characteristics, and bring their discoveries to life through fun animal-inspired art projects.
Tuesday: Critters & Crafts

Fall Semester 2026: $810
Critters & Crafts is the perfect blend of animal science and art that encourages young learners to explore, observe, and create! In this hands-on class designed especially for PreK students, children will meet a new live animal each week during an engaging 30-minute science session. After getting up close and personal with the animal of the day, students will transition into an art activity inspired by what they’ve learned. Whether it’s crafting a turtle shell collage or painting a butterfly’s wings, children will express their observations through fun, imaginative projects that reinforce animal science concepts and fine motor skills.

In this seasonal science class, we will explore the changing seasons and discover the wonders of the great outdoors throughout the year.

As the seasons change and winter arrives, we’ll investigate ice, snow, and other winter elements while discovering how plants and animals adapt to colder temperatures.
