Thursday Morning Petting Zoo Playgroups Indoors at Book People!
Located at 603 N Lamar Blvd
**These events are by RSVP only, please scroll down to fill out our RSVP form**
Each hour-long indoor program will include
An interactive story time
20-30 minutes of holding and petting our adorable animals
An age-appropriate educational animal craft
We may also include time with balloons and bubbles for our youngest guests.
Are these events educational?
Yes! Our goal at Tiny Tails is to teach children about our animal friends. During the petting zoo portion of the playgroups, we give interesting facts about the animals. Our crafts always explore a certain trait or feature of an animal while still offering creativity and fun.
What sort of craft should you expect?
Our crafts explore a certain trait or feature of one of our petting zoo animals and are ready-made for our youngest guests to decorate. For example, we will get a lot of up-close time with our tortoise friends while we make our own tortoise shells to wear out of a ready-formed cardboard shell, felt, glue, colorful paper and rope. We may also make and decorate ducks out of paper plates, craft paper, felt and glue. Each week is a new activity!
Do you need to stay with your child?
Yes, children must be accompanied by an adult. Although we will have at least two staff members there, these programs are for parents and children alike.
What ages are these programs setup for?
Right now we welcome children ages 0-9. At the beginning of the program we will separate into groups by age. Please let us know if children age 10 or older are interested! We would love to open another time slot for older children.
How much does it cost?
Our hour-long program is $10.00 per child and free for their adults. We accept cash or check for these events upon entry, and we have a maximum of 15 children for each event.
