Notes regarding time
On Saturdays only. Storytime starts at 10:30. Activities last until 11:30Description
Stop by the Old Manse on Saturday Mornings for free, outdoor storytimes as we celebrate environmental literature read outside in the landscape that inspired Ralph Waldo Emerson to write his environmental classic, "Nature." Each storytime focuses on a different topic such as birds, activism, habitats, and identity - and is followed by an art activity that explores that idea. In this program we use art and literature to inspire children to love themselves and the natural world.
