Listen, Create, Grow

A gentle storytime & craft experience

Join us for a heartwarming morning inspired by Little Acorn’s Big World, a story about courage, kindness, and discovering who you are.

Children will gather for a special live reading with author Chantelle Schenning, then bring the story to life through a cozy, hands-on acorn craft.

After storytime, participants can choose between making thumbprint acorns or designing their own expressive acorn character—choosing how their little acorn feels today. A sweet moment of creativity, connection, and imagination.

 

Meet the Story
