ALL WEEKEND
Learn why their Madagascar hissing cockroaches and giant African millipedes are called the “recyclers” of the rain forest. Maybe bugs and other insects are not so scary, after all!
Breathe in the fragrance of greenhouse flowers and enjoy their colorful blooms. Use them as inspiration to make lovely, lacy, feathery and flowerful Valentine’s Day cards.
Fancy Nancy and her friends are going to be performing in their very first show, “Deep Sea Dances.” Nancy is positive, that’s fancy for 100 percent sure, that she and her friend Bree will be picked to be mermaids. When another girl wins the coveted role of the mermaid, Nancy is stuck playing a dreary, dull tree. Can Nancy bring fancy flair to her role?
