Y'all! I am so stinkin excited!! Norton Art Gallery's Preschool Programming looks like it is gearing back into motion after taking hiatus since the start of the pandemic. 

According to the Norton Art Gallery Facebook page, they are planning to host toddler programming every Friday during the month of October, too as a part of this ongoing series! 

Historically, their babies and toddler programming always ends up being THE HOT ticket item to get your hands on.  Those spots really do fill up super FAST. 

I mean, you have to be ninja-quick in order to score one of the coveted tickets, so you will want to be ready when that ticket link HERE goes live and available! 

Norton Preschool & Toddler programming is the absolute most perfect play-date EVER and has always so much FUN! You can make arrangements to meet several of your friends at the event, enjoy the craft and story-time, then head out into the gardens to explore and play before nap-time!  

We used to LOVE doing this and bringing a picnic lunch to enjoy with friends and share as a group afterwards. Us Moms would hang out and chat, while the kids ran themselves ragged playing JUST in time for nap-time! 

This was ALWAYS a win-win for our play group. I've MISSED programming in their gardens so very much! This fall's program is called "Backyard Books" and promises a story for each session, followed by a hands-on activity, then a fun garden quest.

To adhere with social distancing guidelines, the museum must limit capacity to 15 children total. This means that you will need to reserve ONE TICKET PER PARTICIPATING CHILD. 

Adults accompanying children do not need a ticket. Tickets are donation based and will help enable the museum to continue to have wonderful programming for our community. 

The area really has enjoyed this entire series so far, will you be able to score one of those spots for the October event?

Here is the schedule for each Friday event:
