## About

December's Artful Storytime at the Cummer Museum heads to the beach. Inspired by the exhibition A State of Expression, the stories for ages 2 to 6 feature Florida's shoreline, crashing waves, sandy beaches, seashells and coastal wildlife. After the read-aloud, with songs and movement, children make an ocean-inspired art project in the studio with their grown-up. Plan on about an hour mid-morning. Book ahead; the fee is per child.
