Bookworms of all ages are encouraged to attend the Storybook Festival dressed as their favorite storybook character and enjoy the outdoor event filled with fun, creativity and adventure!
Families are invited to explore their imaginations outside of the DuPage Children’s Museum during its upcoming “Storybook Festival,” slated for September 26, 2020. Look for the big red door as it marks the spot at 301 N. Washington St.
“We wanted to celebrate this impactful part of lifelong learning with fun activities that will have everyone using their imaginations and thinking together creatively,” explains Cassie Coffey, Senior Guest Experience Manager, DuPage Children’s Museum. “Stories and books help us expand our understanding of the world and take our minds on creative adventures. Literacy and language development are fundamental aspects of early childhood development.”
The Museum’s parking lot will host different experiences, including an area to design puppets and put on a show, a Literature Laboratory where guests can dream up their own fantastic tales, improvise with Big Story Blocks and a challenge to create and puzzle together pages of a giant storybook; also opportunities to enjoy socially-distanced story times with the Museum and Naperville Public Library.
