Enhanced Physical Development: Hands-on activities offer children the chance to develop fine motor skills while having fun.

“Poetry is a beautiful way for children to express themselves and connect with their inner feelings,” says Dr. Carol Diviney. “At the Poetry Bears Picnic, we aim to create a joyful atmosphere where kids can learn and grow while discovering the magic of words.”

The event promises a fun-filled day with various arts and crafts activities centered around poetry, aimed at children of all ages. Families are invited to bring a picnic blanket and enjoy a day of creativity, connection, and celebration of the arts.
