Preschoolers can enjoy Mardi Gras year-round as they develop their cognitive and physical skills! Learn how to promote your child’s development by simply including them in and imaginary Mardi Gras day; from climbing a ladder to catch beads to putting on our costumes to playing instruments in the brass band at this week’s YALA Artsplay!™ workshop.

This free 6-part workshop series is made possible by The Helis Foundation. Our workshops provide engaging arts-based activities designed to instruct caregivers on how to use the arts at home to promote early learning. Lessons are conducted by certified Louisiana Wolf Trap Teaching Artists, who have expertly crafted multi-sensory experiences that foster children’s natural curiosity for learning. After each workshop, children and their caregivers can download our digital Connection Cards for tips on how workshop activities can be continued at home. Watch all the videos in the series again by following us on YouTube (@youngaudiencesla).
