Playful Paws Playgroup at Stone Zoo
This playgroup is as much for the caregivers as it is for the “cubs.” Get out of the house on a winter’s day and bring your little one (18 months- 3 years) to Stone Zoo for some open play and animal exploration in the Animal Discovery Center. At each class we'll learn through looking, touching, and movement. The possibilities are endless and may include: storytimes, animal encounters, biofacts, simple crafts, and more! If the weather is nice, we may even go for romps outside! $32 Members/$40 Non-Members (per adult/child pair) for the series. Space is limited so register soon! To learn more call 617-989-3742.
