Little Drifters Nature School

We 💚 our library!! We are so thankful for the books, beautiful space, and wonderful employees that make the library so special.

There's nothing better than seeing our patrons of all ages make memories at FPL! 🌟🩷

📸


We want to see you photos of FPL! Whether you’re checking out a new book, visiting us at the library, reading from home, attending one of our events, showing off your newest CFI creation or even if you have an old FPL shot sitting in your camera roll, post your photo with a geotag of the library or using the hashtag and we’ll share our favorites each month!

🍄 We’ve been talking all about mushrooms!
🌱 Mushrooms hikes, mushroom books, and drawing mushrooms!
🍄 We find so many different kinds of mushrooms on our hikes!

Crawdads, creek time, pool party, new friendships, old friends reunited, spotting wildlife, and a lot of playing outside. It’s been a wonderful beginning of the school year.

We’re getting ready for another wonderful school year at Little Drifters! New students are starting Monday and we couldn’t be more excited!

We broke open a geode today and identified the fossils, rocks and minerals from our school kit.

Another successful day at the creek! We got nets to catch water creatures we find. 🦞🐸🐟

🦆 We met ducklings today!!

Our friends at Yarb Apothecary invited us to visit with their newest additions and the Little Drifters had a blast! It was sad saying goodbye but they were so happy to have a chance to experience these little guys.

We 💚 Springtime! ☀️🌿🌷

Things we’ve done this week:

👫 Made new friends
🐟 Splashed in the creek
🌱 Identified spring flowers and plants
📚 Read lots of books
🌤️ Enjoyed being together in this beautiful weather

🐟These kids love playing in the creek!

🦞We found a crawdad!

🪨Big rocks mean big splashes!

🌱It warmed up enough yesterday for us to play in the creek and do float tests with nature items like sticks, leaves, bark, and even rocks (we’re here to tell you rocks DON’T float, but they’re fun to throw in and make a big splash)

🌱When we got a little cold we took a stroll through the Fayetteville Public Library to play with magnet tiles and read books. Overall a great first day back after Spring Break.

🪨We got a rock and fossil kit!

🌿After identifying all our new rocks, minerals and fossils we learned about the three components that make fire and how to (carefully) start a fire with a magnifying glass.

🌿It’s that time of year! Looking to enroll more students for the 2023-24 school year! Contact me at (479) 263 2809 if you’re interested in joining our nature school.
