CULTURAL STORYTELLING AND CRAFTS FOR KIDS OFFERED AT ITC

(San Antonio)—Children can spend their summer exploring other world cultures at the Institute of Texan Cultures through programming offered in conjunction with “Children Just Like Me,” a unique exhibit on display through Sept. 5.

Each week children can hear stories and learn a new craft centered around one of the cultures featured in the exhibit. Live storytelling is 11 a.m. Tuesday-Saturday, and cultural crafts are offered 1-4 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday.

This traveling exhibit organized by the Cincinnati Museum Center invites children to “meet” their counterparts from other world cultures. Young visitors can enter any of 11 life-size dwelling spaces and engage in multisensory activities to investigate the language, food, games, music, pets and clothing of each region.

This exhibit and activities are included with ITC admission: adults, $7.50; seniors 65 and older, $4; military personnel (ID required), $4; children 3-12, $4; children 2 and younger, free.
