The Children's Museum of New Hampshire presents Finding Science in Folktales!
"Join us for a trip around the world as we investigate animal science through popular folktales and legends! Participants travel from East Africa to Brazil and beyond as they hear how the King of the birds was chosen, why Bear has a stumpy tail, and more. Each folktale will have a corresponding animal science focused experiment or activity.
In cooperation with the Hampstead Parks and Rec department, join us at Meetinghouse Park behind Town Hall for this fun and educational live animal presentation! Wildlife Encounters Ecology Center and Farm School will bring a selection of animal ambassadors to wow you! Bring chairs and blankets and make yourself comfortable to enjoy the show. Please plan to spread out and allow for social distancing.
Special thanks to The Hampstead Civic Club who generously provided the funding for this event!
