The Sequim branch of the North Olympic Library System hosts Junior Science Explorers, starting at noon on Saturday, Nov. 9, at 630 N. Sequim Ave.

Designed for children ages 4-6 and their caregivers, Junior Science Explorers introduces children to the lives of local forest animals.

“Nurture your child’s natural sense of adventure and curiosity, encourage your child to be a persistent problem solver, and introduce your child to basic elements of scientific reasoning with preschool and primary science activities,” program organizers say.

Activity stations include:

• Match the real life fur, claws, and horns to the animal

• Make and fly birds in a wind tunnel

• Guess the animal scenario from the real life clues

• See how salmon swim with a stream table

• Create rain and watersheds with an AR Sandbox

• Make animal tracks

• Search and find the camouflaged animals

• Decorate a tree round pendant to take home

This program is supported by the Friends of Sequim Library.
