Be Creative at Westfield Montgomery with Free Westfield Family Fun Days March 14, 2012

Be creative in March—join Westfield Montgomery and the Westfield Family Program for Family Fun Days featuring “Arts and Culture.” Kids will learn about famous artists and their mistakes—making art more accessible.

On March 14, join us for story time starting with The Magical Garden of Monet by Laurence Anholt, a book about a chance meeting with Monet. Beautiful Oops by Barney Saltzberg follows suit, teaching children that it’s okay to make a mistake, especially where art is concerned. Kids will also enjoy entertainment by Wes Holly - with his infectious enthusiasm he creates energetic shows that encourage laughter and audience participation. Magic, Music & Juggling come together for a show that all ages will enjoy. Kids will then tap into their own creativity and create a beautiful tissue-paper flower and enjoy a snack.

March 28 will feature stories about Pop Art, starting with Pop Warhol’s Top by Julie Appel, which brings pop art creations to life. The second book, One by Kathryn Otoshi, teaches children about colors, numbers, and acceptance. Kids will also enjoy entertainment by Eric Energy and Geneva Day School in celebration of Dr. Suess’ Birthday. Kids will then enjoy a snack and put their pop art know-how to work by creating pop art top hats to take home.
