With the theme ‘Let’s gather in a FUN forest!’, the event will feature a variety of hands-on programs that let children observe plants and animals in the forest and enjoy activities using natural materials.
Featured programs include ‘Acorns Are My Friends’ and ‘Let’s Play, Spider!’, which invite participants to explore nature in the forest through things like acorns and spiders.
