Have Fun with Mother Nature at Hobbs State Park

Boy we’re lucky. Here and there we hear about our great friend Mother Nature, but at Hobbs State Park you can actually see her. Yes! Every second Saturday of each month at 10:30 a.m., all throughout the year, she visits the Park. Her favorite thing to do is to read nature-related stories of the forest and the animals that live there. Those who visit her always remember an educational, memorable, and fun time.

Mother Nature Visits and Reading Subjects for the Rest of the Year: 

February 9: The Woods in Winter – Where are the animals?
March 9: Getting Ready for Spring – Changes in the Woods
April 13: Dandelions – Stars in the Grass
May 11: Around the Pond – Frogs and Toads
June 8: Animals in The Night
July 13: Water Dance – Water Cycle & Storm Drain Pollution
August 10: Caterpillar to Butterfly
September 14: Autumn in the Woods – Preparing for Winter
October 12: Bats – Not Really Scary
November 9: It’s Turkey Time
December 14: Who Goes There? Footprints and Animal Signs

Story time will be followed by “hands-on” nature-craft activities. Children of all ages are welcome, however most stories will target children 3-6 years of age.
