In the cold and quiet woods, children on a hike through the snow find signs that animals have been nearby. Nutshells, feathers, bark rubbed off a tree are just some of the clues they come across as they wonder Who's Been Here? Children will learn about some of the creatures found in our woods, and will make a miniature tracking craft.

The busy Boston streets are too dangerous for eight little ducklings! But with a little help from a friendly policeman, Mrs. Mallard and her family arrive safely at their new home. The public garden was no place for ducklings when they were first born, but now they are old enough to brave the raucous crowds and swim with the giant swan boats. This winning classic continues to delight generations of children. We will talk about the variety of ducks in Indiana and then make a duck craft.
