Tales Under the Tree

Tales Under the Tree

Come and join us every Saturday and Sunday at 2pm for a unique storytime experience at The Bishop. Tales Under the Tree happens under the Ralph S. French Charitable Foundation Mighty Oak in the Mosaic Backyard Universe. Every month, our learning specialists feature a book reading with a different science or nature theme, followed by a related activity such as a craft, game, song, body movements, or biofacts. This program lasts for about 20 minutes.

 

  • When/Where: 2pm every Saturday and Sunday in the Mosaic Backyard Universe at The Bishop
