If your child is all about bugs, slugs, slimy worms and things that squirm, register for a B’Earthday Party at the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes. Especially popular is the creepy-crawly critters theme, featuring an hourlong, naturalist-led hike during which kids can uncover the creatures dwelling on the forest floor. “It’s great to see the kids so engaged and to see their reactions of pure joy,” says Katrina Heinzen, environmental educator at Shaker Lakes.
