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.
Everyone has fun summer traditions and that’s no exception for people in Sweden. This month at Toddler Time we will read the book Summer in Sweden by Anette Henningson and learn about the great outdoor activities families enjoy together. Kids will also have some summer fun by “fishing” and “picnicking” on our terrace and going on a nature walk.
Join us as we explore different ways to make colorful art inspired by works in Through the Eyes of Philadelphia New Americans: Art, Resilience, and Community. We will read an art story and explore the exhibit to learn about different kinds of art, then kids can make mosaic pictures, try print making, and create their own collage!
Sweden is a leader when it comes to recycling. Less than 1% of household waste ends up at a landfill! This month toddlers will learn that they are never too young to start recycling by following the story of a little green monster in the book I Can Save the Earth by Alison Inches. Kids will learn how resources can be reused instead of thrown away by playing games and doing art with recycled materials. Toddler will even get to fill a recycled seed planter to take home.
The phenomenon of aurora borealis can be seen across many arctic countries and certainly lights up the sky in northern Sweden. Join us for Toddler Time as we read Roaring, Boring Alice by P.K. Merski, make colorful crafts, and do a color mixing science experiment!
