Swing by the Connecticut River Museum for take-home craft activities that engage kids with the Connecticut River’s stunning wildlife and rich history! Crafts will take place in the Museum’s Boathouse. A program just for kids 4+ and their caregivers, River Tales includes a story and craft activity themed around nature.

On a hot summer day, a little girl finds ways to entertain herself and explore the natural world around her. She catches a butterfly, sips lemonade, jumps in a pool, and goes on a picnic. At night, she sees an owl in a tree and a frog in a pond, and hears leaves rustling.
In July, we’ll read Summer Days and Nights by Wong Herbert Yee, a picture book with a spunky protagonist who grows to appreciate the small but special details that define a season.
