Join us for a special edition of PAMM Art Storytime exploring the connections between art, nature, culture, food, and our five senses inspired by artist Hariel Revignet’s Gira de Ervas.
Building on the foundations of early literacy, pre-K students and their caregivers will begin with a short museum tour, where families will consider how plants, natural materials, and traditions can connect us to the Earth, our communities, and the stories passed-down through generations.
Then, enjoy a reading of “My Five Senses” by Aliki, a playful introduction to how sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch help us discover and understand the world around us. Join Mindful Moroccan for a hands-on sensory experience that invites families to explore food just as they might explore a work of art. Look closely at the colors, shapes, patterns, and textures of fruits, vegetables, and herbs while touching, smelling, sorting, and playing with fresh ingredients. Explore fruit and vegetable anatomy, harvest, and smell fresh herbs, discover ways to regrow food from scraps, create prints on canvas bags using upcycled produce, and prepare a simple superfood banana snack together.
IMPORTANT Please note: This program includes hands-on activities involving a variety of foods and ingredients. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to be mindful of their child’s food allergies or sensitivities when participating and to inform program staff of any known allergies before taking part in food-related activities.
