Little Farmers Classes: Dig, Discover, Grow at Cullipher Farm (Virginia Beach)
April 8 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
$8.00
Get ready to get your hands dirty! In this interactive farm lesson, your little explorer will uncover the secret world living right beneath their feet. Soil isn’t just dirt — it’s a bustling, living community, and we’re going to dig right in! Reserve your tickets here!
We’ll discover what soil is actually made of, meet the tiny organisms calling it home, and learn why healthy soil is one of nature’s greatest gifts. From earthworms to minerals, your child will walk away seeing the ground in a whole new way!
And the fun doesn’t stop there — every child will plant their very own sunflower seed to take home and watch grow, along with simple care instructions so the learning keeps going long after farm day. We’ll also wrap up with a coloring page to help them remember everything they discovered.
A sensory bin will be on hand to bring the lesson to life in a hands-on, tactile way — perfect for curious little learners! Reserve your tickets here!
