*Created especially for adults* 

Take a close look at the feathers and the surprisingly brightly colored face of this native bird we love to roast (and hate to see gathering to bully us and our pets). Then either sketch its multi-colored face or create a feather ornament.

Use leaf shape, color, size and texture to identify a plant. Create your own leaf rubbing, leaf painting and/or leaf collage.

Seeds vary hugely in size and some develop in amazing containers! Break open some seed pods to find the treasures within. Save seeds to plant in the future and make a seed mosaic.

We all love seeing these appear as decorations in the fall. What is the inside like? What varieties are there? Draw the shapes of their life cycle with the help of a pumpkin print you'll make and save their seeds to grow your own pumpkin.

Does imagining these creatures make your skin crawl? Think differently about spiders and examine their webs to inspire the one you'll make in class.

Does your library or town have a specific natural resource you'd like patrons to explore? Specific trees. Pond life. Seashore. You tell me and I'll put a class together.

Ok, not shoe prints but animal footprints. Observe these things that animals leave behind and figure out what we can learn about their diet, life and habits from them. Make a unique print of your own to take home and remind you of all you have learned.

Fall is the right time to plant tulips and daffodils that will appear in spring. Dissect a bulb and label the plant parts.
