Today we are reading Wangari’s Trees of Peace by Jeanette Winter. This is a nature story, so take your device outside if you can!
Activities
Lake Shawnee Arboretum Virtual Tour
When you’re done with the virtual tour, see what trees you can identify in your own neighborhood.
Make a tree craft
Find pieces of trees that have blown down or fallen on the ground – leaves, acorns, cones, branches, etc.
What kind of art can you make by arranging the components? When you’re done take a photo and ask your grown-up to post it on their Facebook page and tag @TopekaLibrary!
If you’d like, gather the materials in a box to play with later on.
