Gather round for Look and Learn – our literacy and art-making program for children ages 5 and under. This monthly storytime adventure connects families to art at the Museum and plants seeds of creativity in growing minds. 

For this month’s Look and Learn, join us as we read Whose Hands Are These? A Community Helper Guessing Book. After the story, view our newest The Art Garden sculpture and participate in a hands-on creative project in our studio classrooms. Dress for mess! 

Book description:  
If your hands can mix and mash, what job might you have?
Hands can wiggle, hands can clap.
Hands can wrap and flap and tap.
But hands can help—so raise yours, please!
Can you guess? Whose hands are these? 

What if your hands reach, wrench, yank, and crank? The hands in this book—and the people attached to them—do all sorts of helpful work. And together, these helpers make their community a safe and fun place to live. 

As you read, keep an eye out for community members who make repeat appearances! Can you guess all the jobs based on the actions of these busy hands?
