River Tales: Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring at Connecticut River Museum

Seasonal storytelling and hands-on creativity come together during this River Tales program designed for young learners and their caregivers. Centered on the changing natural world, the program explores the transition from winter to spring through the story Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring by Kenard Pak, which follows a boy and his dog as they notice signs of the new season emerging in nature. The experience continues with interactive take-home craft activities, including a seasonal scavenger hunt and a rotating 3D tree project that allows children to explore the four seasons throughout the year.

The program takes place on February 7, 2026, with sessions offered from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm at the Connecticut River Museum. Admission is $3 per learner for non-members and free for museum members, with museum admission not included in the program fee. The event is recommended for children ages 4 and up with a caregiver, and participants are asked to check in at the front desk upon arrival.
