The winter holiday break for children is around the corner. To keep boredom at bay, the Institute for American Indian Studies located at 38 Curtis Road in Washington has devised a variety of in-person programs that provide children with the opportunity to play as well as to learn. The programs will take place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, December 29, and Friday, December 30.

All parents know that each child has an entirely different set of interests, and that is why the Institute's variety of pop-up programs will have something of interest for every child. Children are invited to listen to stories, play games, and create crafts to take home. Most importantly, all programs are inspired by the lifeways and lessons of local Native Americans. An added benefit is to provide children with the chance for exciting and meaningful interaction with other enthusiastic kids as the Institute's professional educators lead a variety of winter adventures for kids to enjoy. Kids will be intrigued by Native American games like snow snake, snow boat, and hoop and pole which will get them out into the fresh air while learning about Native American culture. Make sure your children are dressed for the weather because some activities will be outdoors. During craft sessions, age-appropriate programs will be offered. Children may make a cornhusk doll and buzzers, as well as learn about the art of beadwork and try their hand at it. Best of all, they can take their work home to show to their friends and family.
