Mane Stream is excited to launch "Paddock Pals" for children ages 2-4 years old. Creative play is important for kiddos! There are several milestones that lead up to being able to play creatively, so visits to the barn give your little ones plenty of opportunities to practice. This five-week program starts Wednesday, September 18 with a limit of six little adventurers with a caregiver each. Each jam-packed one-hour session features circle time, captivating horse tales, horse-themed adventures including arts & crafts, and music. The grand finale on week-five includes a pony ride for each tyke! These types of experiences during the toddler years help establish a solid foundation for nurturing, happy, and well-rounded children and pre-teens. Offering physical, emotional, and cognitive stimulation during these critical years is important. Grab your friends and make it a weekly parent & me activity!
