Art Start

Inspired by AMFA’s exhibition The Long View: From Conservation to Sustainability, this session will focus on the wonders of the animal world with a reading of What Do You Do With a Tail Like This? by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page.

After story time, children will dive into a hands-on activity, creating their own watercolor animal paintings inspired by the creatures they learned about – perfect for curious minds who love animals, art, and adventure!

Art Start is an early reader program that pairs children’s books with art activities, inviting toddlers and preschool students to learn through reading, imaginative play, and art-making.

This free program welcomes parents, grandparents, caregivers, and our youngest patrons to drop in and explore with us – no reservations required!
