About the Event
Class Description
Join us for a fun and engaging story adventure! We’ll read a beloved children’s book together, explore its characters and themes, and bring the story to life through movement, imaginative theater games, and hands-on crafts inspired by what we’ve read. Children will act out scenes, invent characters, play creative storytelling games, and make a special project to take home. This class encourages creativity, listening skills, confidence, collaboration, and imaginative play in a welcoming and playful environment. Perfect for young readers, makers, and performers alike! Ideal for ages 5 to 8.
Each session will be limited to 12 participants max.
Featured Stories & Crafts
Each week features a beloved children’s book paired with a creative, hands-on project inspired by the story. Crafts do not repeat, so children are welcome to sign up for multiple weeks!
"The Curious Garden" – Build your own miniature storybook garden inspired by the tale and discover how a little care can help a community bloom.
"Extra Yarn" – Learn simple weaving techniques and create your own colorful yarn project inspired by this magical story.

"The Rainbow Fish" – Make a shimmering fish painting using celery stampers to create sparkling scales.

Additional books and crafts may be featured throughout the session. Because each story and project is unique, children are encouraged to join us for more than one week of story-filled fun and creativity!
