Preschool children and their caregivers are invited to join us for interactive storytelling led by Seattle Children's Theatre and hands-on art making with the Frye’s teaching artists.

On October 2 we will be exploring our special exhibition Mary Ann Peters: the edge becomes the center through a thematically related children’s book and a hands-on art-making activity. In this session, we will read Pipsie Nature Detective: The Disappearing Caterpillar by Rick DeDonato, illustrated by Tracy Bishop.

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.
