About 24 kids attended Monday's event at the zoo in-person, while other joined in virtually.

Monday's topic was all about eggs and the animals that lay them.

All activities took place outdoors, with participants keeping six feet apart and following other COVID safety guidelines.



"It is so heartwarming to have the kids hop out of the cars this morning, and they're ready to go," said education program manager Elizabeth Sayles. "All of them have their animal-themed masks on Everybody's just really taking it in stride."
