Children’s Hour: “Winds, Clouds, and High-Flying Birds”

Young children and their families are invited to help us welcome the new year with a Children’s Hour titled “Wind, Clouds, and High-Flying Birds.”
Young children of our Indian Wells Valley have likely all felt the force of strong winter winds, blowing fast and fierce! In the featured program, creative actions for kids will accompany stories about wind, storms, and clouds with their imagination-stirring shapes transforming the sky. Birds such as snow geese come to live for the winter in our valley, while other kinds of birds pause only to eat and rest during the autumn as they migrate further south. On their journeys they can be seen soaring high along uplifting currents of air, as naturally as children running along a sidewalk pretending to fly! Children’s Hour, begun by a group of volunteer docents in 2009, continues to encourage both learning and appreciation of books, the Mojave desert and nearby mountains. Each program theme is explored through storybooks, songs, action activities, crafts and natural history exhibits from the docents’ collection.

Curiosity and questions from children are warmly received!!
We hope to see you for this free, educational and monthly event! Information about Children’s Hour can
