What’s important about digging in the dirt?

Children have an innate ability to make dirt fun, but there is much more to it than just playing. This topic introduces how important dirt is to many animals and also to people. Hands-on activities will have us fine-tuning motor skills as we dig, dump and fill. We’ll also learn how animals use dirt for hiding, making tunnels and nests, and protecting themselves. Best of all, we’ll find all sorts of treasures as we explore, from the roots of our flowers to dinosaur fossils and gemstones. It’s sure to be a fun time when we’re digging in the dirt!
