Grades K-2: The Animals of the Mitten

January 24 & February 1 Multiple Times

The Mitten by Jan Brett is a delightful book based on a Ukrainian folktale. A child's lost mitten plays host to a wide variety of wild animals. In this program, learn the true natural history of the fascinating creatures from the story with Lucy Hale, Museum science staff. Your students will act out portions of the tale, meet the Museum's hedgehogs while learning about animal parts (adaptations), animal needs, and predator/prey relationships. Other specimens from our collection will be used to help deepen your class' understanding of these fundamental life science concepts. You will receive a copy of The Mitten with your registration for this program.

Cost is $140 per site.
