Arturo's Preschool

Arturo's Preschool is a free program for preschool, home school, and daycare groups serving children ages 3-5.
 
Take an up-close look at a work of art, read a featured picture book, and try out games and movement activities in the Museum galleries. Then explore ideas with an art-making activity in the Art Studio. Program themes and projects change each month, so there is always something new to do.
