MOONFEST Moonbeans Parent-Child Workshops™ offer high-quality, guilt-free programming for parents and their young children.

Adults and children are divided into two groups, and will meet together at the first, pre-lunch, and final sessions of the day for theater games, relaxation exercises, group singing or vocalizations.

1. Educational units last no more than 20 minutes and are followed immediately by 30-minute "art breaks."
    
2. Educational units consist of age-appropriate activities involving:
   
   
   • Moon science
   • Space exloration history
   • A slide show of the moon in visual art
   • A listening session of "classical" moon music
   • The moon in popular and folk songs
   • The moon in Asian, African, Greek, Roman and Native American cultures
   • The moon in Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Hindu religions
   • The moon as a prosperity symbol
      
3. "Art Breaks" consist of age-appropriate theater games, dancing, haiku, writing-to- prompt, improvisation, free drawing, gesture drawing, singing, yoga, finger-painting, storytelling, jewelry-making and tee-shirt decorating led by artists, teachers and craftspeople.
    
4. At the end of the day, participants will sit in a circle and make up a group story about the moon. The day will conclude with a MOONFEAST.

For adults who want to develop and explore their creativity, we offer MOONFEST HOWL WORKSHOPS™ for inspiration, information and hands-on activities. Enjoy yourself. Make stuff. Be a kid again.
