Every Nature Tales includes an engaging, themed storytime led by Cumberland County librarians and a child friendly craft project selected and prepared by CFBG environmental educators. Storytimes are enhanced with engaging songs, puppets, and movement breaks. Themed crafts allow children to connect with nature and create a souvenir of their Garden experience.
Designed for ages 2-5 with a parent or guardian. Siblings are welcome to accompany if included on the registration. Come dressed for the weather outside!
There are two back-to-back one-hour sessions of this class offered on two different days. The same class is offered multiple times to accommodate more kids.
Storytime Benefits:
- Develops Early Langauge and Literacy Skills
- Encourages Interest in Nature and Science
- Promotes Creativity and Art
- Supports Preschool Social and Emotional Development
This program is completely FREE (admission is required only if you would like to walk in the Garden on your own after the program).
