Nature Cubs: Feet, Paws and Claws

From alligators to zebras, most animals have feet. Why do seals have flippers? What if a bald eagle had paws? Come to class and find out why feet are so fantastic!

Nature Cubs preschool classes use interactive learning stations, hands-on activities and crafts, Nature Play, animal artifacts and exciting Zoo walks to engage your preschooler's sense of wonder and curiosity about wildlife and the natural world. There is no animal contact or behind-the-scenes access in Nature Cubs classes.

Note: Nature Cubs preschool classes are for children and their adult buddies to enjoy together. Infants worn in a carrier or who remain in a stroller/car seat during the program are welcome at no additional charge.

  • "Feet, Paws, and Claws" will meet once a week for five weeks.
  • Classes for 3-5 year olds will meet Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays. Choose your day of the week to attend below.
  • Make-up classes are available on a limited basis with prior approval.
