Small Explorers: Museum Adventures

9:45 AM, 11:00 AM or 12:15 PM
This month in our Small Explorers program, we’re reading “The Museum” by Susan Verde, illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds. We will be exploring the shapes, colors and feelings that a walk through an art gallery provides. Build with different shape blocks, find the colors hidden in our space, make your own piece of art and learn the words for how it makes us feel. Let’s get inspired to create. “When I see a work of art, something happens in my heart!” Registration required
