Fall Festival of Fun!
September 22, 2021
Wednesday, September 22nd
It’s time to f all in love with this change in seasons ! The leaves are turning, and the weather is shifting which means there is lots of fun to had here at Pretend City . Let’s celebrate with art , games , books, and sensory play as we have fun with fall!
Purpose Behind the Play: Sensory play and artistic discovery, concept development through curiosity and exploratory behavior, inquiry through observation and investigation, literacy and language development, spatial awareness and directionality
- Smart Art (Times Vary) : Nature is calling and we’re answering in the Art Studio. Bring your little artist in to paint with unusual tools you find in the fall.
- Nature Tales (1 1 AM & 2 PM) : Gourds, gourds, everywhere! Roll on over as we use our senses to investigate this mysterious fall fruit. We’ll touch, explore, and even taste our way through learning about this ornamental food.
- Sensational Storytime (11:30 AM & 2:30 PM): Join us in Orange Plaza for a reading of Leaf Hunt by Steve Metzger. We’ll practice climbing high, going through, and stepping over on our quest to find these colorful pieces of fall.
Grown-up Tip : Make a leaf book with your child. Repeat the simple sentence “My leaf is a __ leaf.” Change the leaf color on each page. Have your child draw that colored leaf on the page. Take it a step further by going on a nature hike and finding the colored leaves to glue into the book.
RSVP: Not required
Fee: Included with museum admission
