Toddler Time is our specially designed program for children ages 2 to 5 years old, where each session helps young minds grow through interactive stories, engaging hands-on activities and social interaction. Toddler Time is a monthly program, every third Tuesday of the Month. Listed below is a schedule of upcoming programs with descriptions. This program is free for members and $5 per child for nonmembers.
The world is made up of shapes and that includes ASHM! This art inspired Toddler Time will help reinforce knowledge of shapes through an interactive story and a Museum shape hunt through our galleries! Kids will play shape matching games and explore other crafts and activities all about shapes!
Experience the wonderful world of fiber arts! This month at Toddler Time, families will explore our exhibition Swedish Folk Weavings for Marriage, Carriage, and Home and learn about how clothes are made. We will read a weaving story and practice fine motor skills with textile activities.
Summer is the perfect time to explore boats, and Swedes have been expert ship builders for thousands of years. This month kids will learn about different types of boats and what keeps them afloat. Play Sink or Float and build your own boat! Be sure to come prepared to get a little wet!
Children who visit the museum love to see our larger than life wooden Dala horse sculpture! This month at Toddler Time, kids will learn why the Dala horse is an iconic symbol of Sweden. Listen to a story, go on a Dala horse hunt through the galleries, and even paint your own Dala horse!
