Story time and music at Summit Street Garden Sunday afternoon

Please bring yourselves and your little ones by Summit Street Garden tomorrow from 1:30pm - 2:30pm for story time and music making!

Children's librarian and garden member Andrea Vaughn Johnson (that would be me!) will perform a story time beginning at 1:30pm. Story time will be followed by an interactive music class for the children led by Sesame Street bass player and garden member, Rob Jost. The music class will be suitable for children of all ages.

This will be a very informal event for garden members and our community at large; simply some Sunday neighborhood fun. Bring a blanket and your favorite little ones (and if they have an instrument, bring it along!).

Last Minute Alert! Spring Carnival till 3pm!

BROOKLYN SPRING CARNIVAL FOR LITTLE KIDS

http://www.familiesfirstbroooklyn.org/

 

On Saturday, June 1st the Annual Spring Carnival will take place on Baltic Street, between Court and Clinton Streets in Cobble Hill. Sponsored by Families First, which is located on Baltic Street, the day is a celebration of family and community for families of toddlers to kindergarten-aged children.

 

The Carnival features the kids’ favorites: baby animals in a petting zoo, a bouncy house, face painting, spin art, tattoos, mini-carousel, carnival games, arts & crafts, a bake sale and balloons!

 

 

The Annual Spring Carnival is the principle fundraiser for Families First, a not-for-profit organization established in 1981 to provide families with children’s classes, workshops for parents, and an indoor PlaySpace.  Parents, caregivers, and young children, six months to 5years, find a warm and supportive educational environment here that prepares them to successfully enter the school age years. Other sources of support for Families First are membership and program fees, grants and donations. We would like to thank Ridgewood Savings Bank and Goldman Sachs for underwriting assistance for the 2013 Spring Carnival. Proceeds from the event will be used to support parent/child education programs at Families First.
