Block Print Bugs
Use custom built printmaking tools to mix and match your own bug design! There are thousands of different combinations for you to try out while learning about printing techniques from throughout history.

This months nature chats are about the many ways that “bugs” and their products are eaten around the world!

The Bee’s Knees
Come see what’s buzzing in the PNC Learning Lab this month! All month long, your young entomologist can: adopt a pill bug, learn why spiders won’t stick to their own webs, move pollen like a bee, use a proboscis like a mosquito and make a pair of bug eyes to wear!
Early Learning will be closed during the week of May 19
