Owl Moon – Super Saturday
Help us celebrate the Owl Moon and welcome the breeding season of the Great Horned, Barred, Screech, and Barn Owls of Seward Park. At Owl Moon Super Saturday you can dissect an owl pellet, learn about attracting owls to your backyard, make fun owl arts and crafts, and even look at owl feathers through the microscope.
Recommended Ages: All ages
Cost: FREE
12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
Daytime Owl Prowl
Hike with us deep into the forest to try to call down our resident barred owls during the day! A great opportunity to take a daytime owl prowl into the forest. You and your family can even learn how to “speak" barred owl. This time of year our male owl is very protective of his girlfriend, so maybe he’ll talk back to us! Whoooo knows what fun times we’ll have!
Recommended Ages: All ages
Cost: Standard program fees.

One of my favorite child reads is “Big Rabbit’s Bad Mood” by Ramona Bădescu and Delphine Durand. It is a favorite because I, like everyone else occasionally suffers from a bad mood! This story is a wonderful description of Big Rabbit trying his best to ditch his bad mood all day long. Unlike most grown-ups who can usually find a way to turn their mood around fairly quickly with chocolate, wine or a happy song, children often can get totally stuck in their mood and willingly stay there to our dismay for a while. Following is a fabulous suggestion by the authors (this is not in the book) to possibly cure one of these stubborn moods. We currently have a neat selection of books at the shop. If you are interested in ordering a book just give us a shout via email.
“TAKE A BLANKET BATH. This activity may or may not result in a (much-needed) nap, but at the very least it offers quiet time and/or time for the child by himself. Children need these things as much as we do. Grab 3-4 pillows and 2-3 blankets. Put the pillows in the bottom of a (dry) bathtub, and toss the blankets on top. Invite your child in fully-clothed. You may want to “scrub” him lightly (or suggest he “wash” himself), if he seems to be getting into the game. Let your child “soak” for as long as he likes.
Caveat: Is your child the kind that might turn on the water? Then don’t leave him alone during this activity."
Oh, happy day – Buggy has lots of books that are great for all ages. Books are easy to wrap and ship and unleash the magic in little brains the way nothing else can. For serious big-kid readers, try one (or three!) of the installments of The Mysterious Benedict Society and little kiddos love Toot and Puddle.
Our lovely little Madrona neighborhood will be all decked out and ready to party this coming Friday night, December 4th.
