About the event

Join us at W.D. Hill for a colorful, hands-on crafting adventure designed just for toddlers! In Craft for Tots, little artists (ages 3–5) will explore textures, colors, and shapes while creating adorable keepsakes and seasonal crafts. With easy-to-follow projects and plenty of giggles along the way, this class is the perfect way to spark creativity and build those fine motor skills — one glue stick at a time!

Every craft is a masterpiece when it's made with love (and a little glitter).

Ages: Age at least 3 yrs but less than 6 yrs,

Storytime with Kelly Starling Lyons: Ellen's Broom

Join author Kelly Starling Lyons on August 1 at 2 p.m. to listen to her illustrated children’s book Ellen's Broom, and learn about the story's background and the author's inspiration. Participants will enjoy a powerful story about preserving strong family ties in the face of injustice, the merging of new and old traditions, and the history of "jumping the broom." For a reminder of these important lessons, each participant will make a mini-broom pencil to take home! Free and open to all ages but recommended for ages 5–10. Registration is required for all participating children, and all kids must have a supervising adult(s). The program will take place indoors in the park's climate-controlled Main House, followed by a craft activity. Schedule: Aug 1, 2026 Saturday from 2pm to 3pm Duration: 1 hour Ages: All ages,
