Free Learning Series, “Little Kids, Big World,” Featured at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum

BISMARCK - Toddlers and preschoolers are invited to a free interactive learning series, “Little Kids, Big World,” on Mondays at 9:30 and 10:30 a.m. at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum. These fun, hands-on 30-minute programs will introduce children to North Dakota’s fascinating history—from dinosaurs through today’s ongoing story. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
 
The series begins on Sept. 12, with “American Indian Games.” Participants will play traditional American Indian games including Hoop and Stick game, foot races, and more. Upcoming programs in the series include "Little Historian" on Sept. 19, with the participants learning what historians do and making their own historical document to keep;  and “Dino Dimensions” on Sept. 26, where the children will learn how big some North Dakota dinosaurs were and how they compare in size.
 
The programs will be led by Stephanie Schick, a gallery guide at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum. Schick is a graduate of Northern Arizona University who previously worked as an educator at the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa.  Schick, who has a passion for history, science, and education, loves to travel and has taught in schools in Kenya and Egypt.

Participants are asked to meet at the east entrance information desk at the ND Heritage Center and State Museum. For more information, contact Erik Holland, 701.328.2792. For more programs sponsored by the State Historical Society of North Dakota, go to history.nd.gov/events.
