YALA ArtsPlay!™ Tiny Explorers-Workshop 4

Fun at the Zoo

In Partnership with The Helis Foundation John Scott Center

They all asked for you! Standing on one foot, bending, reaching and walking in circles are important benchmarks for developing motor skills at this age. Let us show you how to get your child’s muscles moving as we mimic animals while singing and parading.

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.
