About this Event

Join us for an ocean-themed storytime adventure featuring Who's Playing in the Ocean? by Eva Morales!

Which adorable animal is hiding on each page? An octopus, a seahorse, or maybe a crab? Young readers will love using clues to guess which ocean creature is hiding beneath each flap before revealing the answer. This interactive story encourages active listening, participation, and discovery while helping little ones build confidence as they become “experts” on their favorite sea animals.

After storytime, budding marine explorers can get creative by building their very own LEGO sea creature!

Why This Activity is Perfect for Children Ages 2–5:

Interactive Storytime:
Encourage curiosity and imagination through a fun, engaging read-aloud.

Creative Crafting:
Build fine motor skills while designing a colorful rainbow bracelet.

Family Fun:
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to join the fun alongside their little ones!

Details:

Cost: This event is free for all.
Supervision Required: Children must be supervised by a parent or guardian.
Registration: No advance registration is necessary, but signing up will make it easy to add the event to your calendar.
