Kids' Activities

Presenters, Food, and Family

HDT is working with Crosslake Community School on a school-wide recycling program.  Recycling Ralph, the scarecrow is a recycling-themed creation that the kids will enter in a contest.

These crafty kids display their artistic skills...

In the past couple of weeks HDT has welcomed more than 150 visitors to the HUG campus.

HDT welcomed students and teachers from Cathedral High School for the second time.  The kids toured the campus and participated in cob and papermaking activities.

There was even time for a round of "Hug a Tree"

Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE)

Early Childhood Educators, Nancy Johnson & Kim Sheley, brought two groups of parents and kids to HUG to play games, tour the campus and create a recycled craft.

 

 Yum or Yuck?  Is the food good for you (YUM!) or does it just taste good but isn't so healthy (YUCK!)?

 

 Kids worked with their Moms and Dads on a recycled craft - making egg carton bugs.

 Nothing takes care of the wiggles like a game of hopscotch!  This was no ordinary hopscotch though - kids had to name a food in the food group that the bean bag landed on.
