Some Outdoor Weekend Fun

Evergreen Brick Works Scavenger Hunt

Next date: December 17, 2015 | All day

Evergreen Brick Works Scavenger Hunt
Look up! Look down! Look inside! Look outside!
Explore Evergreen Brick Works in search of different things to discover about the site, it's history and the Don Valley where it's located. You'll leave with a better sense of what this wonderful place is all about.
Kids and adults will enjoy doing this scavenger hunt together. We've got two different versions: one if you've got children aged 3-6 and the other for children aged 7-10. 
Pick up the Evergreen Brick Works scavenger hunt at the Welcome Desk inside the Young Welcome Centre. It's available every day that we're open.
It's free to do, but we suggest a donation of $2-$5 which helps make family-friendly activities here at Evergreen Brick Works accessible to all who visit.
 

Location

Evergreen Brick Works | 550 Bayview Ave, Toronto ON, M4W 3X8

The Mighty Cedar

Cedar trees are amazing things.  For 100s of years they have been used to make everything from canoes to clothing.  Cedar is one of the four medicines for indigenous Canadians.  They are a feast for all our senses, right now room 101 smells as it looks, filled with cedar.  In our cedar "forest" in the park next to school, the cedars are home to a squirrel who has built a nest in them.

As we focus on cedar trees this week, we are developing an appreciation for all that tress provide, from oxygen to furniture.

Ask your child to introduce you to a cedar tree.
