This is a guided early art & literacy program led by staff from the I.D.E.A. Museum.  The 60-minute program includes a story time and a hands-on art activity that is based on the theme of the book: The Pout Pout Fish, by Deborah Diesen. Includes an art-making activity, which is process-oriented (rather than product-centered) and provides the preschoolers an opportunity to experiment with some new art materials and techniques. Plus music& movement in which the kids engage in gross motor activities, singing, and general wiggly fun. 

Learning Goals/impact:

 Children develop pre-reading skills, language and vocabulary development, critical thinking skills, creative expression, and exposure to basic art concepts. 

By exploring a variety of art materials and techniques, children experiment with pattern, shape and color, develop gross and fine-motor abilities, and improve problem-solving skills

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED PROGRAM
