KIDS (9 and Under)

The Strawberry Kids Program features a full lineup of music, arts & crafts, nature programs, dance & music workshops, storytelling, and more. Four separate programs are designed for age-specific interests while other activities are appropriate for all ages, including adults! Many of our arts & crafts activities incorporate the use of recycled materials to encourage awareness and appreciation of creative reuse. Programs are free and materials are provided. Materials used are non-toxic and most are washable, but make sure to bring clothes that may be “color enhanced”. Strawberry Kids provides activities and workshops for kids nine and under.

TODDLERS
Activities for toddlers and preschoolers ages five and under are designed to be process-oriented and interactive. Young ones will find many opportunities for exploring their curiosity and creativity in a colorful, stimulating environment. Paint, glue, and play dough are in abundance! Whether creating a colorful collage, splattered paint masterpiece, or any number of other exciting projects, these little people will find plenty of amusing activities.

KIDS
This program for children between six and nine years old includes a variety of imaginative arts & crafts activities utilizing a wide assortment of media. Individual projects are designed to encourage the creative process while producing a Strawberry keepsake to bring home. Windsocks, kaleidoscopes, weaving, and recycled art are among the many exciting projects that have been created. Activities also include mural painting, bean bag toss games, bubbles and more.

This list is not reflective of confirmed activities for the Spring 2025 festival. A complete list of the activities offered at the festival will be available upon arrival via the festival program.

Our staff consists of talented and enthusiastic teachers, naturalists, artists, musicians, and parents whose goal is to provide your Strawberry Kid a mega-fun festival experience. We are not staffed to provide day-care service, therefore we require children under 6 years old be accompanied by an adult when in the play area.
