Chill Summer

Remember when it was cold? We don’t either! Join us for a “cool” story time. Possible books to be read include: Go, Sled! Go!; So Much Snow; and Seaside Stroll.

ASL interpretation is available for programs with two weeks' advance notice. Please email access@mohistory.org to request ASL interpretation or with other accessibility questions.

Storytelling programs at the Missouri History Museum engage our youngest visitors and their families with songs, movement, traditional and contemporary storybooks, and local history. Each story time connects with a different theme that helps children explore their world and develop a love of reading. All story times are led by a dedicated educator who makes the activity interactive, and we take special care to choose books that present a variety of experiences and people our young guests can see themselves in. Storytelling in the Museum supports early literacy and is a great opportunity for age-appropriate social emotional learning.

These programs are recommended for children ages 2–6 and their families, and each 30-minute session is free. Storytelling in the Museum takes place in person on Fridays from 10:30 to 11:00am, and our bilingual Spanish-English storytelling Cuentos en el Museo occurs second Saturdays and the fourth Friday of each month.
