Storytime & Craft at The Craft Lab!
Join us for a prehistoric adventure featuring Dinosaur Lady! Discover the inspiring true story of Mary Anning, a pioneering fossil hunter whose discoveries helped shape our understanding of dinosaurs and prehistoric life.
After storytime, young paleontologists will take part in a Dig & Identify Fossil Matching Game, where they'll uncover hidden fossils and match them to the creatures they belonged to. It's a fun, hands-on way to explore science, observation, and discovery!
