Come explore the world of "things with wings” that live in our city and help our Cambridge Wildlife Puppets get ready for the Honk! parade on October 9th.
Ongoing activities include face painting and paper plate mask-making for wee ones and building dragonfly headgear or creating feathers for our oversized bird puppets for elementary-aged kids. At 2:30 we’ll learn about bats from a bat expert. From 2:00 to 2:30 and also from 3:00 to 3:30, a guest artist will guide adult/child pairs in creating three Little Brown Bats for Honk!. Learn from Ranger Jean about flying creatures and why they make their home at Fresh Pond, and look for butterflies, dragonflies, and things with wings at the Neville Butterfly Meadow. This is an all-ages event. Young people and adults who come can help refurbish and strengthen our giant Great Blue Heron and other large puppets (community service hours can be arranged for CRLS students). Meets at Maynard Ecology Center, 650 Concord Ave. All children under 12 must be accompanied. Co-sponsored by the Cambridge Wildlife Puppetry Project. Bookmark the Facebook event here.
