BUG INSPECTOR + PROTECTOR 1:00 – 1:50 pm
Fly over for insect inspections. Butterflies, like other insects, are great hunters. They can also hide in plain sight by matching nature’s patterns. They can move fast and in all sorts of ways. Join Artist Butterfly Becca to learn how to recognize everyday bugs + insects and create a recycled art butterfly craft.
*Craft materials needed: toilet paper roll (1 per craft), scissors, tape + glue stick, paper (colored, plain, news or tissue), and colors (markers, crayons, or colored pencils).
TORTOISE MEETUP 2:00 – 2:50 pm
After a long winter’s nap, Franklin, the Desert Tortoise, will be happy to see you! San Diego County Parks and Recreation Ranger Zac will introduce Franklin as a reptile ambassador with a personality as big as his shell. Who is a tortoise and who is a turtle? What food does a tortoise eat? Find out, and more! You’ll also create a recycled art tortoise craft.
