The Diggers

This Wednesday is going to be a great Family Fun Night! We will be exploring the world of digging with Margaret Wise Brown's The Diggers. I hope everyone is ready to get dirty, because we will have different types of digging in different types of materials set up in our Imagination Studio. Maybe if you are lucky, you will find some buried treasure!

Two of a Kind is an interactive musical group. They use songs, puppets, movement, and stories to entertain the crowd. But do not expect to sit there and watch the show; they love tons of audience participation!

This Saturday, they have a special program planned just for us! All their songs and stories are going to have to do with ANIMALS!!! Super fun, right? This is all in honor of the Eric Carle's book Animals, Animals. If you haven't read this book yet, then you definitely should! It is available at our Book Nook (opened all day, everyday), so stop by and read it any time!

The program runs from 2PM to 3PM and is free with museum admission! I can not wait to see you all there!!
