    Family Fun with Flakes

    A naturalist will read the Snow Family story and afterward the children will make a snow family craft, have hot cocoa and marshmallows, and build some real snow people outside (if there is snow). Please dress for the weather and for playing in the snow. If there is no snow, we will have an additional activity.
