First the kids learned a song about "...nose, ears, eyes, mouth and fingers too,..."
|
Then they got to see a horned owl (stuffed)...

September 8, 2000 - Rochester Hills Library -
I found the Nature Center's mobile unit at the Rochester Hills Library presenting
Explore Nature Through the Senses to groups of preschoolers (3-5 years old).
|
...followed by one of the owl's favorite meals: a skunk (also stuffed)...
|
...with a warning about keeping a safe distance when a skunk is found in the wild.
|
The only live exhibit was this non-poisonous snake, a native of Michigan.
|
These boys wanted a really good look.
|
A rabbit helped to illustrate the sense of hearing...
|
...and the kids got to touch this soft fox fur as an example of tactile sensation.
|
|
Pretzels dipped in real maple syrup brought home the sense of taste.
|
Other exhibits included butterflies and moths,...
|
...a bat...
|
...and a fawn, one of two that was removed from the mother who had been found
dead along the roadside.
