A vibrant world of color, whimsy, and fun, this enchanting read-through brings the magical power of song to life. Eric Carle, a prolific children’s author, is renowned for his poetic use of themes such as nature, animals, and the environment, helping to connect kiddos to the wide world around them. After the reading, guests will have the opportunity to explore the museum and see if they can spot some of the critters discussed in Carle’s books. The day will conclude with some hands-on crafts and activities scored with a soundtrack of song to help your young artists get inspired. This afternoon introduces the intersection of art and music to little learners, opening up a brand new world of beauty to discover.
The New Jersey State Museum’s Small Explorers program is a dynamic monthly program that invites the museum’s youngest visitors to engage with this iconic cultural institution in an approachable, child-friendly setting. Each month, the museum offers a different theme for families to explore – from the world of STEM to art, music, and more, there’s something on site for every kind of learner.
