A two-session experience for children in grades K-5.
During session one, children will learn about native birds and animals and spend time looking for some animals in the woods. They will then create several creatures out of clay.
In session two, children will glaze their animal sculptures from session one and look for animal habitats in the woods as they walk the trails.
After May 25, children may pick up their finished sculptures. One sculpture will stay at Pathways to be hidden along the trails and one may be taken home.

Following this two-part event, children will have:
- learned about the process of creating artwork with clay,
- learned about native animals and their habitats,
- helped Pathways add an element of fun to the property by making a creature to be placed along a "hidden creature trail" to be found by visiting children (and adults!).
