Teaching Artist Haydyn takes children ages 0-5 on a fun exploration of topics through story time and an art activity! Children build skills and resiliency through books and tactile-kinesthetic art activities, such as tracing, cutting, gluing, painting, and more. At the end of class, students will take home not only their art activity as a physical reminder of the story but also the social/emotional learning they experienced! A parent or guardian must stay with their child for the duration of the class. All supplies included. Please enter through the Penn Avenue door and exit through the 5th Street door downstairs.
