Celebrate National Hot Cross Buns Day with music! In this fun, beginner-friendly program, each child will receive a recorder and learn how to play the classic tune “Hot Cross Buns.” Participants must be six or older. Limit of 30 participants.
Join us for a toe-tapping celebration of National Hot Cross Buns Day with a musical twist! Each participating child will receive their very own recorder to keep and take part in a fun, introductory music class centered around the first song many young musicians learn—“Hot Cross Buns.” No experience necessary! We’ll explore the basics of playing the recorder, including note reading, finger placement, and breath control. Kids will practice together in a supportive group setting, and by the end of the session, they'll be able to play a full song! This is a great way to spark a lifelong interest in music, make some joyful noise, and commemorate the day in a truly memorable way.
Supplies are limited, so arrive early—recorders will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Must be six or older.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library & Learning Center includes a computer lab with fourteen computers, teaching kitchen, large activity area, individual and group study rooms, theater, and community room in addition to a collection of more than 21,000 books, DVDs, and CDs.
In the 165-seat theater, children can experience all aspects of theater, including designing and building sets, writing plays, acting, and costume design. The state-of-the-art sound system, lighting, and projection screens is also be used for movies, concerts, and lectures.
The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
