Little Birds Weekend Single Event Winter Classes

Prior to registering, please visit the Little Birds FAQs for information about the classes. 

Young children are naturally curious about the world outside. There is so much to discover: sticks, pebbles, animals, plants, puddles! Irvine’s Little Birds builds upon this curiosity through a semester-long weekly class for children ages 8 months to 3 years alongside a caregiver.

Together, children and their caregivers discover the wonders of wildlife through age-appropriate activities like live animal encounters, nature walks, songs, stories, and art experiences.

These single event weekend day classes offer families a chance to participate in one or all of these Little Birds classes for just $23 per class.

The majority of class time is spent outdoors. In case of bad weather, the class will inside the building. 

Cost for each class: $23

Saturday, January 10 (10:00 to 11:30 AM) - Warm and Cozy – Bundle up for a fun exploration of how all kinds of animals stay warm in the winter as we brave the winter weather, then cozy up with warm drinks and a story.

Sunday, February 8 – (10:00 to 11:30 AM) - Snow Day Artists – Discover the magic of dancing ice crystals and sparkling snowflakes, even if there’s no winter weather in the forecast. Then we’ll explore the world of color with a painting activity inspired by the children’s classic Mouse Paint.
