Think and Play Series
Every Friday through the month of October at 11:00 am
This
weekly program is designed principally for our curious museum
visitors who are preschool age and offers valuable guided
learning
experiences that will introduce our young guests to our
exhibits as
well as talented members of our museum staff. Each
week, emphasizing children’s literature as a vehicle
for exploration and fun, a new story will be introduced
as the day’s theme for arts and crafts, dramatic play,
fun with food, and more!
