The Cedar Valley has a couple of great opportunities to help teach our kids about African and Haitian culture this month. Details below!
Large Haitian Art Display at the Center of the Arts in Waterloo (across from Young Arena on Commercial and First St.)
Also, at the adjoining Phelps Youth Pavilion, there is a hands-on Haiti play area with a market, tap-tap bus, fishing pond, etc.
To view the art is free to the public, and on the 3rd Thurday of each month (This Thursday, Oct. 16), admission is only $1 to the Phelps Youth Pavilion. Great for 3-6 year olds! (amendment: great for ages up through 10, actually. And adults like it, too!)
"A Visit to Africa" Family Fun Day at the UNI Museum (3219 Hudson Rd.)
Saturday, October 25 from 9 a.m. to noon
$5 a family
enjoy African music, make African masks, encounter African animals on a safari scavenger hunt, learn African dances, locate African cultures on a giant map, design Adinkra bookmarks!
Call 273-2188 by Oct. 22 to register.

The Haitian play area at the Phelps is actually pretty great for ages 3- even 9/10 I think... There is a lot to see and do. Almost any age can find something to connect with :)
Thanks, Jess! Also, if you can't go to the Family Fun day at the UNI museum, I believe the African exhibit will be there for free viewing through the next month or two.
