Visit with staff from Rutgers Cognitive Kids at ​their table in the library. Drop by with your child to try fun, interactive activities exploring how children think and learn about numbers, language, and people. The staff will also be available to share information about their research into cognitive development and how families can get involved in future studies!

Let's explore with some simple art supplies!  Rather than focusing on a specific project, we'll try out different tools and techniques!

Back due to patron request, we'll experiment with using watercolor gel crayons.  We had a fantastic time with these back in June and many families have asked to use them again! 

First we draw with them, then we paint over them with water!  These are washable paints, but please do not wear your finest! 

Class begins at 10:00 and we'll clean up together at 10:45.

For ages 3 and up, with an adult.

Come join us for stories, songs, and a craft.
