Join us at the Ellen Noël Art Museum for a delightful event tailored for art-loving preschoolers aged 3-5 and their grown-ups. At 1:00 PM, we invite you to immerse yourselves in a beautifully illustrated story and a creative art activity. This free event promises an entertaining children’s story followed by an engaging art activity that connects to the tale.
Our featured book for this session is Tumford the Terrible by Nancy Tillman. Little ones will be captivated by Tumford’s mischievous adventures and then get the chance to express their creativity through a hands-on art project inspired by the story. It’s a wonderful opportunity to foster a love of art and storytelling in young children while spending quality time together. We look forward to seeing you and your little artists at the museum!
An event every week that begins at 4:00 pm on Thursday, repeating until January 30, 2025
