Maria reads aloud from her books, and then we make our own insects from all kinds of materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We make our own little paper houses and decorate them with materials from nature. The houses become little lanterns that glow in the fall darkness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sarah tells us about the wonderful time on Earth when there were dinosaurs everywhere! After the talk, she shows off her small fossil collection. Anyone who wants to can come up and touch a Spinosaurus tooth and a 150-million-year-old piece of dinosaur poop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
