StoryWalk
A StoryWalk® is a fun, educational activity that places a children’s story (literally a book taken apart) along a popular walking route in various communities. Conceived to inspire parents, teachers, and caregivers to take young children outdoors for physical activity and to learn, StoryWalk® helps build children’s interest in reading while encouraging healthy activity for both adults and children.
Early Education Art Program
The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum brings art to area pre-schools with our Early Art Education Program. This program aims to expose children ages 3-4 to the basic elements of art, in hopes that art will become part of their lives as they grow older. Creating art from a young age has been shown to help children develop problem-solving skills, build fine motor skills, and promote creativity that prepares them for elementary school. Each month, Colin Riebe, Outreach Coordinator, visits preschools and daycares in Horry and Georgetown counties and, through fun and creative art and literacy activities, introduces children to:
- Colors
- Shapes
- Textures
- Lines
- Patterns
- Space
