Story/Craft Room (40)

Discover the magic of books with our read-aloud art sessions! 

Perfect for school-aged listeners, this program introduces kids to captivating books in a relaxed, engaging way. While staff read the first few chapters or a short story aloud, kids work on a simple themed art project inspired by the tale. Since staff do all the reading, there is no need to read ahead—just show up and enjoy!
