Hands-on learning for little explorers

January invites families to slow down, bundle up, and explore the incredible ways animals survive winter. This month’s Wonder Year pack is filled with hands-on, curiosity-driven activities that encourage observation, movement, and meaningful conversation. From testing blubber insulation and protecting a penguin’s egg to exploring snowy owl flight and orca communication, children learn through play, wonder, and discovery. Each activity blends creativity, science-based exploration, and fine-motor skills—wrapped in the magic of winter learning.

Families can enjoy one activity at a time or stretch the experience across days or weeks—there’s no right or wrong way to explore.
