Family Art Project: Light Your Holiday Candle
Set the mood for a cozy night by making your very own candle, experimenting with the shapes and colors we can create with wax. Let your candle’s glow remind you of the many celebrations of light taking place around the world at this time of year.
At 11:30am families can enjoy a holiday-inspired storytime program in the Gund Theater, all ages welcome.
The Hudson River Valley hosts an impressive diversity of bird species, even during the winter months. Explore Wave Hill’s tranquil gardens and woodlands with birding guide, Haley Scott to observe birds in their winter habitat. Birders of all levels encouraged. A limited number of binoculars, monoculars and walking sticks are available to borrow. Ages 10 and older welcome with an adult.
Join a knowledgeable Wave Hill Garden Guide for a leisurely stroll in the gardens. Topics vary by season and the expertise of the Guide--come back for an encore; each walk varies with the Guide leading it. This walk lasts a half-hour to 45 minutes. Public Garden Walks are most appropriate for adults or young adults.
On a cold winter night, let’s warm up with a pajama party! Enjoy some arts and crafts, snuggle up with a book or dance your energy out before bedtime. Featuring storytimes from Riverdale Public Library and a special mystery guest. Be sure to wear your favorite pajamas for extra fun!
