🌈 Our summer Nature Niños series begins TOMORROW!

Join the Peoria PlayHouse team at Forest Park Nature Center for a morning of Rain & Rainbows-themed fun designed especially for preschool-aged children (ages 3–5) and their caregivers.

Through hands-on S.T.E.A.M. activities, stories, songs, movement, and creative exploration, little learners will discover the wonders of nature while building new skills and vocabulary—including Spanish words and phrases woven throughout the program.

⏰ 10–11 a.m.
📍 Forest Park Nature Center

Nature Niños takes place throughout the summer at both Forest Park Nature Center and Peoria Zoo. Check out the full schedule in the graphic and register today! https://ow.ly/FLRn50ZafVl
