## About

A hybrid indoor-and-outdoor story time at the North Carolina Museum of Art led by educators from Prairie Ridge Ecostation. Children look, listen and move while connecting picture books with original works of art, then head out to explore the Museum Park ecosystem and celebrate nature. The session lasts 30 minutes and is free; reserve through the museum's ticket page. It suits toddlers and preschoolers with a caregiver, and outdoor-ready clothes help.
