Hop into spring with FUN FROGS!

Tuesday, April 15, 10:30-12pm

Fee: $10 per child ($8 for members) 

Designed for ages 7-10

An interactive children’s program starting in the gallery to view a work of art by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation). Her piece All of My Relations Book I, uses text and image to highlight the interconnectedness of all living things. “On our reservation, teaching stories are always filled with animals,” says the artist. After discussing the work, we will create a fun frog craft to usher in the start of spring.

Fly into spring with BABY BIRDS!

Thursday, April 17, 10:30am-12pm

Fee: $10 per child ($8 for members) 

Designed for ages 4-6 (Parents strongly encouraged to stay with younger children.)  

An interactive children’s program starting with a story and ending with a cute bird-themed craft. Join us as we draw inspiration from a piece on view by artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (citizen of Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation). In her work, All of My Relations Book I, she showcases nature and all the animals in it. The program will begin with a story featuring wildlife with birds as the central characters. After the story, we will create our own bird nest with baby birds.

If you can’t make it for these classes, remember that the Museum is open Tuesday-Sunday for drop-in vacation week fun. Explore the exhibitions, pick up a scavenger hunt at the front desk, and borrow the Sketch & Story art activity kit and practice sketching in the galleries.
Fun for all ages!
