Meet the Author Drawing Class
On Saturday May 10th at Columbia Hall bring your children ages 4-8 to meet the artist/author of the Children’s book Doodles. Byron Carr will give a short drawing story of how he started scribbling as a kid and created a kid’s book as an adult. Then you and your child will have a chance to start illustrating your own book using the simple Doodles character as inspiration. This presentation was done in many area schools in the early 90’s with great success. Books will be on sale for $5.00 with 50% going to the food pantry.
The presentation:
Cost…………………..$5.00 for parent and one child, $1.00 for each additional child
15 min. story
30 min for you and your child to get started on your own book
All supplies included
Two sessions 1-2pm and 2-3pm. Call 746-2915 to register.
Where do the Children Play?
The real question is where do your children play? Do you remember a time when you would come from school and you could not wait to finish your chores and homework so you could go outside and play with friends? Today, we are in a world of technology where you can’t live without a cell phone, TV and computer. Our children rush home from school to catch their favorite TV show, or to log on to the computer and check their email. They are on their cell phones with their friends trying to figure out what movie to go see or who will host the next sleepover. Do they talk about going down to the local park to play ball, or heading to the brook to toss stones, or even hop on their bike to ride around the neighborhood?
Please join the Hopkinton Recreation Department and the Little Nature Museum for an evening of eye-opening wonder. We will be presenting a PBS documentary showing the importance of a healthy environment for your children called “Where do the Children Play?" This one-hour documentary will be shown upstairs in Columbia Hall on May 17 at 6:30pm. To compliment the movie, there will be a special guest speaker Marilyn Wyzga, Wildlife Educator with the NH Fish and Game and coordinator for the NH Children in Nature Coalition. During the program, the Little Nature Museum will host an array of activities downstairs that will explore the wonders of nature for children aged 5-12 years.
The event is for anyone who would like to learn why outdoor play is disappearing from our society. There will be a question and answer period, as well some information where you can get outdoors in Hopkinton, your backyard.
