On Sunday, November 1st at 10:30 AM, the Museum of Contemporary Art in North Miami hosts MOCA Sunday Stories — a free monthly program for toddlers and families featuring storytime followed by a hands-on early childhood art project.
This month's inspiration is Firebird by Misty Copeland, the story of a young girl inspired to become a ballerina. After storytime, kids bring their own bird to life on a pre-cut cardboard shape with colorful wings. Each finished bird gets a string so it can be hung and displayed — wings outstretched — as a reminder that they too can take flight.
Sponsored by the North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency, MOCA Sunday Stories engages toddlers in reading, motor skill development, and socialization. It is also a beautiful way for children to bond with parents or guardians as they create together.
The program is free and first come, first served. Registration does not guarantee a seat. MOCA is located at 770 NE 125th Street, North Miami, FL 33161. Visit mocanomi.org for details.
