About the program

Stories Come to Life. Crafts Go Home.

Make and Take Storytime is an opportunity to create imaginative crafts based on a different story each week. Materials are provided to make a specific craft, but imagination and creativity are encouraged — put your own unique touches on it and make it yours.

After 15–20 minutes of creating, Educator Zach reads the weekly story. The stories range from classics to new releases and everything in between. Participation and interaction are always encouraged as Zach reads.

While the program is aimed at ages 2–6, everyone is welcome to create and enjoy the story. Reading skills like rhyming, predicting, and new vocabulary are woven into the telling, along with social and emotional learning through the themes of each story.
