Tot Time: Puppets & Play

Adults and their tots will have fun exploring, discovering, and learning on the first Thursday of the month in the Museum’s Discovery Center.  Spend quality time with your tot, while each of you makes new friends.  A different topic and craft will be featured each month. Registration is not required and admission is free.  Participants will enjoy light refreshments.  The program begins promptly at 9:30 a.m. with the program portion lasting approximately thirty minutes followed by crafts, snacks, and time to explore the Museum.

On May 2nd, puppeteer, storytellers, and educator Marilyn Price will present Puppets & Play- The Birds Fly Back with Mrs. Goose.  This interactive program will be filled with song and finger play and stories with Mrs. Goose and her puppet master! The goose will lead the audience in song and participate in two of her favorite stories including “The Little Red Goose” and “King Bounce the First.”  Tots and their caretakers will enjoy crafts, too.
