Page Turner Animal Adventures

Creepy Crawlies Week

Come along on a virtual safari with Page Turner Animal Adventures! This eight week program will feature a different theme each week. Videos, once posted, will be available through September 7th.

Comedy storybook theater, guest performers, virtual field trips, author visits, puppets, crafts, recipes, and games will be part of the fun!  The events and activities are geared towards Grades K-3 but many are great for all ages. Videos will be posted closer to the date. You can watch them any day of the week. We are just posting them on Fridays to avoid overfilling the calendar.

Here are the Creepy Crawlies Week events and activities. The videos will remain on the calendar through September 7th.
