Fall Nature Programs For Kids 3 To 5 In Kane County

The Kane County Forest Preserve District is putting on some fun courses this fall for kids 3 to 5.

ST. CHARLES, IL — Kane County's kids will get a chance to get to know the natural world in a fun way this fall, as the Forest Preserve District of Kane County is hosting Nature Tykes and Little Naturalist sessions. There will be three events throughout the season for both 3-year-old and 4- to 5-year-old kids.

"In Nature Tykes, 3-year-olds explore the natural world through a variety of activities with their parents, grandparents or guardians," a release from the district said.

Kids and their adult companions will hear stories and songs, go on nature hikes and have fun with games and crafts from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m.:
