April Break Week has begun, and there is so much to explore, learn and create at the APL for kids and teens! Email attleborokids@sailsinc.org with any questions and to sign up!
For Kids of All Ages:
- Story Walk– Tuesday, April 22 thru Friday, April 25, 9am-4pm: What is a story walk? It combines some of Mrs. Brown’s favorite things–stories, families and taking a walk! Mrs. Brown and staff from the Project Connect Family Center worked together to present a story walk in the Attleboro community. Stop by the Balfour Riverwalk Park during April vacation week to take a stroll and read a story. Weather permitting, pages of a story will be posted around the walking path in the Riverwalk and as families walk the path, they can stop at each post to read some of the story. This time around, the story will be “I Love Our Earth” in both English and Spanish.
- Sense of Smell Day– Saturday, April 26, 9am-4pm: Come explore the role that our noses play in daily life with fun (and fragrant) activities!
