Small Frye: Storytelling + Art

The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires

Small Frye, an engaging hour-long program designed for children ages 2-5 and their caregivers, combines interactive storytelling and visual art. Teaching artists from Seattle Children’s Theatre and Frye Art Museum bring cherished children’s books to life through movement, drama, and hands-on art-making activities. 

We will be reading The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires.

Our trained teaching artists plan this program to be developmentally appropriate for ages 2-5. Small Frye is a free program, but space is limited. Pre-registration is required and opens one month prior to the event. 

Tickets will be limited to four per group.

Doors open at 10 am, the program begins at 10:15 am and lasts about one hour. Travel in our neighborhood can be a challenge, please plan your visit accordingly. Doors will close at 10:15 am and no late admission will be permitted.  

If you have not pre-registered, you may arrive starting at 10 am on the morning of the program to join a stand-by list. If space is available, stand-by participants will be admitted at 10:15 am. Entry is not guaranteed. Please note, the museum does not open to the public until 11 am. 

This program is presented in partnership with Seattle Children’s Theatre.
