Bring your toddlers and preschoolers out to meet other families during Blandford Nature Center’s Nature Buds (formerly called Toddler Time) where you will explore different themes of nature each session with a Blandford staff guide. Please stop in at the Visitor Center to find out where we will be meeting. This program will include a story and touchable learning materials or craft! Please come prepared for a short guided hike where your toddler can explore the theme of the class! Weather permitting, we will end in our Nature Nook for self-guided free play. Registration for this program includes admission to walk the trails and the Wildlife Education Center inside the Visitor Center! Dress for the weather!
