GOODBYE SUMMER, HELLO AUTUMN



Say hello to Autumn with us in this week’s Mary’s Art Explorers! This session features a special reading of Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn by Kenard Pak, in which a young girl adventures through forests and towns, saying goodbye to summer and hello to autumn. This story truly captures the magic of the changing seasons. After the story, kids will dive into an autumn-inspired craft.

THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR



Join us for a special Art Explorers field trip to Airlie Gardens with Miss Ashley! Enjoy a blend of science and art as our educators share insights about bats and other nocturnal creatures, followed by a hands-on craft inspired by these fascinating creatures.

Our field trip includes admission to Airlie Gardens and a special reading of Bats at the Beach by Brian Lies, celebrating the night-time creatures. After, kids will get a chance to observe some incredible nocturnal critters up close and create their own bat-inspired crafts.
