May 18th, Storybook Discovery: Get Caught Reading!

Get caught reading at the Voelker Orth Museum this month! Bring your favorite books to the museum (we'll share ours, too!) and then make your own bookmark with Karyn Mooney. For more information about Get Caught Reading Month, visit http://www.getcaughtreading.org/

June 15, Storybook Discovery: Summer on the Lawn!

Celebrate the summer by dancing, jumping, and pretending to be animals in the Voelker Orth Museum's Victorian garden. Act out fun books like Sometimes I like to Curl Up in a Ball by Vicki Churchill and You Are a Lion! And Other Fun Yoga Poses by Taeeun Yoo, then try your luck at playing with "get up and move!" dice.
