Friends of Sears Island is now taking registrations for free “Tiny Worlds” themed activity kits for children. In the springtime, tiny leaves and buds and creatures are emerging in nature. We can see and learn so much when we take the time to examine things up close. This activity kit will include a magnifying glass and small journal to explore outdoors and sketch the miniature happenings all around, as well as materials to bring some of the outdoors inside and create your own tiny world in a terrarium!
The activity kits are free and intended for children ages 5-12. Donations to Friends of Sears Island are always greatly appreciated to allow the organization to continue to offer programming to all at no cost. Activity kit quantities are limited and will be distributed to families on a first-come, first-served basis. To request a kit for your child, please email outreach@friendsofsearsisland.org. After receiving a confirmation email, families can pick up their kits at the Carver Memorial Library in Searsport between May 15 – May 31.
Friends of Sears Island’s children’s programs and activity kits are sponsored by First National Bank.
