Cloverbud Project

What does the Cloverbud Project offer?
Youth in grades 5K-2 are unique, special, and wonderful. Activities in the Cloverbud Project are designed to meet their needs at an age-appropriate level while having fun with hands-on, engaging activities. Some of the activities a youth can try with the Wisconsin 4-H Cloverbud Project include:
- Experimenting with science, technology, engineering, and math
- Exploring their creative side with theater and visual arts
- Diving into animal and plant science
- Learning about themselves and others
- Giving back to their communities through service projects
- Many more activities
By the time youth are finished with 2nd grade and entering 3rd grade, they have a better idea of what interests them in 4-H. They feel ready to choose the project(s) they want to learn more about, because they have already tried a variety of activities.
