Kids

Every Sunday in April, stroll through Heronswood Garden for a fun and creative way to combine early literacy and a healthy activity. Presented in partnership with Heronswood Garden and the Port Gamble S'Klallam Foundation. Free entry.

The whole family is welcome for an afternoon of music and movement. If something more low-key is your jam, hide out in the crafting corner. To maintain social distancing, the music and movement portion will be limited to the first 20 participants. 

With our LEGO bricks, we'll work together to meet two different challenges that tie-in with a great book.  Participants will have the opportunity to share their creation.  

Track your progress through the Iditarod, from Anchorage to Nome, and take your sled through the course at participating branches with each chapter you read. All kids are welcome to participate in the reading challenge; registration required for those who wish to attend Zoom events. Zoom activities on Fridays at 3 p.m. through March 18, with activity kits included. 

Decorate your sled, learn about the race, and follow teams through the famous dogsled race.
