SUMMARY:Art Start
DESCRIPTION:Art Start is an early reader program that pairs children’s books with art activities\, inviting toddlers and preschool students to learn through reading\, imaginative play\, and art-making. \nThis free program welcomes parents\, grandparents\, caregivers\, and our youngest patrons to drop in and explore with us – no reservations required! \nIn this session\, we are reading I Am An Artist and creating pattern-filled artworks that celebrate self-expression using stamps – perfect for kids who love to create\, explore\, and get a little messy along the way. \n\nArt Start is supported in part by the Alice L. Walton Foundation and Walmart Spark Good. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
