Children hear classic tales such as How Chipmunk Got Its Stripes, Stone Soup and The Little Red Hen, and between stories they do a hands-on activity that brings each tale's theme and characters back to life. The morning ends with a treat to celebrate the storytelling. The program is best for ages 4 to 10, which makes it a fit for preschoolers, kindergartners and younger elementary children who are home on a Tuesday morning (Election Day, when many schools are closed). Every child attending must be registered in advance and come with a guardian. The fee is $12 per child for Livonia residents and $14 for non-residents, paid through the city's online recreation catalog. ## Similar picks in Detroit - [Halloween Crafts (Grades K-4)](https://grassyknees.com/detroit/activities/halloween-crafts-grades-k-4--listing-9296c72f459b0a481f2de008) — Thu, Oct 29 · 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM · Cromaine District Library, Hartland · Free · checked Oct 13.
