Little Sprouts Club is a family-guided interactive program designed for preschoolers and their caregivers to stimulate curiosity and build a lifelong love of nature. Created to engage young ones aged 2-5, Little Sprouts Club sessions feature hands-on activities and experiences to engage the young and the young at heart in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.   

Join us in the Ann Goldstein Children’s Rainforest Garden to explore The Terrific Textures of Nature, this year’s Little Sprouts Club theme!

Smooth, rough, bumpy, soft, and fuzzy textures appear all around us in the natural world! From the smooth surfaces of stones and the rough bark of trees to the fuzzy leaves of plants and the delicate softness of flowers, attendees will explore the many textures found outdoors through nature-inspired crafts, sensory stations, story time, and a snack.
