STORYTIME: The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Let’s get ready for spring! Join us as we explore the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. We’ll look at paintings by Charline von Heyl and read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. Following the story, create your own transformative work of art.

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. An ASL Interpreter may be requested for this program. Two weeks advance notice is appreciated. Please note: snacks are not allowed inside the Museum, but you may eat outside on our Plaza before or after the program.
