STORYTIME: The Tiny Seed

Celebrate spring with the journey of a tiny seed. We’ll take a close look at the round bronze sculptures Spatial Concept: Nature by Lucio Fontana, and read-aloud The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. Then, we’ll explore how plants move and change throughout their life cycle. Following the story, children will participate in a hands-on art activity.

STORYTIME explores contemporary art through stories and movement. Museum staff will read aloud a book, introduce children to an artist in the collection, and lead a hands-on activity. Nursing moms welcome. Stroller parking is available in the Hirshhorn lobby. Groups of 10 or more should contact mcgettigant@si.edu to reserve a program in advance. Please note: snacks are not allowed inside the Museum, but you may eat outside on our Plaza before or after the program.
