Join a boy and his dog as they use their senses of sight and touch to identify seven common trees in the snow covered forest and learn about a world of natural beauty that surrounds them even in the dead of winter.

Swing by the Connecticut River Museum for take-home craft activities that engage kids with the Connecticut River’s stunning wildlife and rich history! Crafts will take place in the Museum’s Boathouse. A program just for kids 4+ and their caregivers, River Tales includes a story and craft activity themed around nature. In January, we’ll read Winter Trees by Carole Gerber, a winter story with intricate illustrations and lyrical prose that makes telling trees apart easy for young learners.

Trees that once had leaves are bare.
They’re dressed instead in lacy white.
Snow dusts their trunks and coats their limbs
with flakes that outline them with light.
