Sing the songs they unearth. Play the games children played hundreds of years ago. All the while, you’ll be learning a little about the lives of children in the Middle Ages. Best for audiences ages 4-10.
ROCKS AND MINERALS FOR KIDS: Wed July 22 at 3:30, Peabody. Have you ever wondered about the difference between a rock and a mineral? Come to Peabody Library to learn about a bunch of minerals, how we can tell them apart, and how they get mixed together to form rocks. You will work with some small samples, using simple methods anyone can do at home, and share your ideas about what makes each mineral special. Towards the end, we’ll learn about the kinds of rocks we are most likely to find in this part of Vermont. Peter and Thelma Thompson, retired geologists who live in Post Mills, will guide your exploration. Best for ages 8 and up. There are limited spots open for this workshop. To register please email EMMA JEANNE HOOPS RETURNS! Saturday, July 25 at 11:00am. On your way to the Thetford Hill Fair? Come ready to play with hoops, streamers, and a parachute!
