Celebrate the week of Earth Day at Sprouts as we honor the plants and animals of our home state Lousiana. We'll make an alligator & crawfish crafts and explore the textures of native plants like bald cypress and southern magnolia trees. At the end, we'll wrap it all together with a story about our lovely Lousiana. Happy Earth Day!
