## About

A family nature story time led by Prairie Ridge Ecostation educators at the North Carolina Museum of Art. The session opens with a picture book, then moves into hands-on, interactive activities built around the story's natural theme, and the group may walk to other parts of the art museum's outdoor campus. It suits babies, toddlers and preschoolers with a grown-up, runs about 45 minutes and is free with no registration listed. Most walks are stroller-friendly; come dressed for the weather and ready for a short walk. Meet near the NCMA Welcome Center.
