Let’s hop around a vernal pond as we read And the Bullfrogs Sing by David L. Harrison. We will explore the life cycles of frogs and other small creatures that we find in our vernal pond and look for other herptiles nearby!

Come prepared to be outside for the whole program time. A jacket, boots, and water bottle are recommended.

What is Tales & Trails?

Children and their caregiver(s) gather for a short story that incites curiosity before exploring different locations around Merry Lea's property. Expect to hear a tale & hike a trail while discovering the natural wonders around you together. This is a 1.5 hour monthly program designed for children ages 3-5, with younger siblings welcome to join, led by a Merry Lea educator.
