Preschool Naturalists at Minnewaska: Insect Exploration
Monday, August 18, 2025 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Bring your preschooler to Minnewaska to learn all about the
colorful and diverse world of insects. We'll have a short lesson about the
unique characteristics of insects and we'll read a story about them too. Then,
we'll color our own butterfly rings to wear and we'll take a one-mile-long walk
to look for interesting insects. It is recommended that parents bring a
jogging-type stroller or a backpack carrier for children who may need a rest
during the walk. All children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian
over the age of 18 years old. Siblings of any age are welcome to join, as long
as they don't distract from the program. Meet at the Lake Minnewaska Visitor
Center. Pre-registration is required by calling the Lake Minnewaska Visitor
Center at 845-255-0752.
