Through fun, indoor, and outdoor activities, toddlers and preschoolers explore nature through their senses, experience trees throughout the seasons, and connect with their community.

At the end of the workshop, you will receive the Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood book and CD. With over 130 experiences that engage young children in outdoor exploration and play. The hands-on activities are designed for families and caregivers, childcare providers, and early childhood or PreK-Grade 1 educators to use in a range of settings, including preschools, childcare and nature centers, and at home. Special instructions tailor many experiences for children under 3 years of age. The in-person workshop is typically 2-3 hours and is a highly active, hands-on session to experience and model select PLT activities.

Jody Ullmann of Mud Puddle Science has been an early childhood educator for over 30 years. She believes that everyone can be a “scientist” since science is so much a part of our everyday life. She loves to incorporate science and art with an environmental message by using repurposed materials to create fun hands-on inquiry lessons for all ages.
