Program Description

Event Details

The Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum will share a short children's book about Octopus and their ability to camouflage to their surroundings. An introduction to mollusk coalitional adaptations will be presented, and then each child will receive an octopus arm to color to blend into their surroundings. A live local mollusk will be available for a gentle touch.
