Storytime: A Seed is Sleepy
October 25, 2023 | 10:00 am–11:00 am
In celebration of the changing seasons, join us and educators from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History to take a close look at the Museum Lobby’s tables, created by artist Hiroshi Sugimoto using a 700-year-old nutmeg tree, and investigate plant life through the amazing journey of seeds! After a read-aloud of A Seed is Sleepy by Diana Hutts Aston, we will keep exploring seeds and create our own fall-inspired works of art.
Meet in the Museum Lobby.
Do this at home! Create a “wish tree” to share with your family, friends, and neighbors. Instructions here.
