Parents and Toddlers: Animal Winter Coats (Ages 3 - 5)

Afterwards, they will head inside to conduct a science experiment that will show them how animals stay dry and warm using paper bear cutouts, wax crayons, pipets and water. First, participants will color in their papers with the wax crayons, making a hydrophobic layer that repels water. Then, they will use their pipets to drip water onto their paper. This will demonstrate the natural oils that animals produce to stay dry. Participants can take their “water-proof” bears home to enjoy and help reinforce the experience.
