Museum offering free interactive reading experience for children ages 2-5

Victoria College’s Museum of the Coastal Bend will offer free interactive readings for children ages 2-5 the first Tuesday of every month beginning on June 1.

Victoria College’s Museum of the Coastal Bend will offer a free monthly interactive reading program for children beginning on June 1.

“The Pictures on My Wall” will be offered at 9 a.m. on the first Tuesday of every month through April 5. The hour-long event will allow children ages 2-5 to listen and participate in a reading of Mordicai Gerstein’s “The First Drawing,” which is a historical fiction picture book about prehistoric cave drawings found in France.

“Children will create their own cave art to be displayed in the museum along with the ‘No Stone Unturned’ exhibit,” said Greg Garrett, the museum’s experience educator. “This will allow the children to take a prehistoric trip through their own imaginations.”

Registration is required at least five days prior to each reading. The readings are limited to 10 children.

Children can be registered at MuseumOfTheCoastalBend.org or by calling (361) 582-2511.
