Free Learning Series, “Little Kids, Big World,” Featured at North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum

Toddlers and preschoolers are invited to a free interactive learning series, “Little Kids, Big World,” at 10:30 a.m. on Mondays at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum. These fun, hands-on 30-minute programs introduce children to North Dakota’s fascinating history. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The Oct. 30 program will feature ”Make and Take Pottery” Oct. 30, where participants will learn about pottery as they create and decorate their own pot at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum. Additional programs in the series include: Nov. 6 “Out of this World Art,” with participants creating an art project inspired by the astounding photos taken by the Hubble Telescope; and “House and Home” Nov. 13, a special “Little Kids, Big World” about our new home-inspired exhibit. The programs will be led by Stephanie Schick, a gallery guide at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum. Schick is a graduate of Northern Arizona University who previously worked as an educator at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa. Schick, who has a passion for history, science, and education, loves to travel and has taught in schools in Kenya and Egypt. Participants are asked to meet at the east entrance information desk at the ND Heritage Center & State Museum. For more information, contact Erik Holland, curator of education, 701.328.2792.
