DESCRIPTION:October 7 | 10-11 a.m. | Ages 2-4 | The Farmhouse Garden Center | $10 per child \nLittle hands\, big imaginations and plenty of opportunities to explore! \nDesigned for our youngest nature lovers\, Sprouts at Stowe invites children ages 2–4 and their grown-ups to discover nature through songs\, movement\, and hands-on creativity.

An accompanying adult is required to participate with each child. \nThis is an active\, movement-based program\, so we’ll spend part of our time up and moving! For the craft portion\, we’ll typically transition to tables where participants will work primarily standing. A limited number of chairs and ground mats will be available\, but adults are encouraged to bring a chair if they would prefer to sit during portions of the program. \nRegister Here
