Touch a tortoise, tickle a bunny, and ruffle some birds' feathers. Each week your child will see and touch a few critters. It's a social and discovery time for both your child and you. Each week we will have a new theme to look forward to and new animals to meet! Adults joining the participating child should be prepared to take part in the activities.
