  Get up close and personal and with live animals during this educational and interactive show! There will be a fun and informative presentation by a Rainforest Reptiles Team herpetologist of a large red or yellow foot tortoise, a large monitor or tegu lizard, a 9 ft boa or python, and the American alligator. We will also have a mini zoo with 10-14 smaller animals (including bugs, frogs, snakes, lizards) on display. 

  Everyone will have the opportunity to handle some of the animals after the program. There are opportunities for volunteers to come up and assist throughout the presentation. 

  Thank you to the Wellesley Free Library for co-sponsoring this event!

  Dress your family in their holiday best and be swept away to fairytale land during our first-ever Wellesley Mothers Forum Teddy Bear Tea! Join us for a magical morning complete with building your own Teddy bears, cookie decorating, face painting, arts & crafts and a special performance from local mom and award-winning children's musician Stacey Peasley.

  In conjunction with the Charitable Givings Team, we will be collecting donations for Kids Backing Kids at the event and a portion of all ticket sales will go toward this amazing local organization. For some families, buying holiday gifts is difficult with other financial demands, like putting food on the table and paying bills, so Kids Backing Kids aims to take some of the financial stress off vulnerable families. With your help, we anticipate that WMF will provide gifts for 100 children this holiday season through our toy drives and help many others through our donations. 

  We can't wait to see your family at Wellesley Mothers Forum's first-ever Teddy Bear Tea! Registration covers all activities, food, and a tea-riffic good time and there will also be a cash bar.

  Please note the Wellesley Country Club dress code prohibits denim of any kind (or the appearance of denim) and requires tucked in collared shirts for men. 

  Diana Papalilo & Renee Lee, Kids Events Director and Food & Beverage Director

  Please note that this event has a per person registration fee (including children over 6 months.) We are thankful to our generous sponsors for helping make this event possible. We are generally unable to issue refunds for cancellations made less than 7 days prior to the event.

  There will be Valentine's Day-themed sensory bins, created by 3 Moms Roll with It, for our littlest members to explore and enjoy.

  A little bit about 3 Moms Roll with It: Just as the name suggests, the group is comprised of 3 local moms with 6 kids under the age of 5, and sensory play is their lifeline! They know there are a lot of options out there when it comes to playdough kits, but these are lovingly made by your 3 mom neighbors. Their kits are kid-tested and approved so you and your little ones can enjoy at home with no prep, and maybe, just maybe a little peace and quiet.
