Storytelling: September


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 09/29/2023
Storytelling programs at the Missouri History Museum engage our youngest visitors and their families with songs, movement, traditional and contemporary storybooks, and local history. Each story time connects with a different theme that helps children explore their world and develop a love of reading. All story times are led by a dedicated educator who makes the activity interactive, and we take special care to choose books that present a variety of experiences and people our young guests can see themselves in. Storytelling in the Museum supports early literacy and is a great opportunity for age-appropriate social emotional learning.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

These programs are recommended for children ages 2–6 and their families, and each 30-minute session is free. Storytelling in the Museum takes place in person on Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:30 to 11:00am, and our bilingual Spanish-English storytelling Cuentos en el Museo occurs second Saturdays and the fourth Friday of each month.

Do you have kids ages two and younger? Before Storytelling in the Museum, join us for Museum Babies from 10:10am to 10:25am.
