Time Traveling Tots: An interactive learning experience through history event series!
Calling all miniature historians!
West Point on the Eno has created an event with YOU in mind! Time Traveling Tots is a series of events set for Spring 2025, for our youngest community members – up to age five!
Each iteration of the program includes a historic story time, song, artifact review, and craft!
Sound like a blast? We think so, too! The best part is that each of the three dates is completely different – so come to them all and have a new experience each time! In March we will talk about Travel and Transportation, then Communication in April, and Clothing in May!
Your family matters! (Information for adults of mini historians)
This event was created to teach the littlest of community members the idea that society changes over time. With that in mind, we are dedicated to creating a welcoming environment. To us, this means:
We understand if your child is cranky, loud, or uninterested in a portion of the event! We get it.
You are free to leave after story time if your little does not hold interest in the music, artifact, or craft. We can even pack the craft with you to go!
Water and a small snack are always acceptable to bring – we are against hungry tummies!
Our goal is to reflect the rich diversity of Durham in our event – both the topics and the audience
We work hard to explore important historical topics, ensuring that a variety of community groups are represented
Our staff are professional site educators with backgrounds in history or related fields and have experience working with children of all ages and ability levels.
We want to create connections. Time Traveling Tots is a wonderful opportunity for families to meet other community members. Share experiences, make new friends, and create lasting bonds while enjoying a fun and educational experience together!
