Garden Tots | Busy Birds

In this lively early childhood program set in Hillwood's enchanting gardens, children ages two to five and their accompanying adults explore a new theme each session through make-believe, hands-on art-making, and imaginative play. For this particular session, titled "Busy Birds," little ones will take a flight of fancy and let their imaginations soar, learning about the many ways Hillwood's gardens make birds happy. Each child will then create their own bird kite to take home.
