The next live podcast recording of The Fairy Tale Art Cart LIVE is at Buunni Coffee, Inwood!
The Fairy Tale Art Cart live is the perfect way to spend a cozy, creative afternoon out and about with your favorite littles! During the show storyteller Rachael Harrington tells an interactive folktale, and along the way we pause the story for music-filled drawing breaks with a live musician so that you and your kids become the illustrator of the story you’re listening to!
The November show will be a gratitude folktale perfect for kids 4-9 (little siblings welcome!) and will feature local clarinetist Katie Curran as the special guest musician. Art materials and a gratitude turkey craft are provided at the show!
Tickets are pay-what-you-can with a suggested donation of $8 for each ticket! Available online or at the door, but the space is cozy and the show tends to fill up, so get your tickets online to guarantee a seat!
Can’t wait to get creative together in community!
