Botany4Tots is an outreach program designed by Dr. Dior Kelley to increase plant appreciation and awareness in preschool learners. This program provides four classroom modules for two Ames Community Preschool Center preschool classrooms. Each module includes activities and books for 4-6 year-old children, but it can be modified for younger/older learners.
The Fall 2021 module was focused on leaves and why they change color in the fall. In the Midwest, fall color is a prominent aspect of our landscape and is a great opportunity to talk with kids about plants.
