Wonder & Wander 2025

This year, adventure with Frieda B.'s dog, Zilla, during our popular Wonder & Wander events! We believe in the beauty of childhood summers... outdoors in nature with lots of adventure and creativity and wondering and wandering. Come to The Story Barn (home of Frieda B. books) and let us - and Zilla! - set the stage for a full morning of all of this with the children you love. For "Quantity", indicate the number of children you're registering. At least one adult must accompany. Adults and children under 3 are FREE with a registered child.  What is Wonder & Wander? Register for one or as many of the weeks as you like... Each Wednesday morning, Frieda B. author Renata Bowers sets the theme with a reading of the day's Frieda B. story, at 9:30. When you arrive, you'll receive a basket full of supplies to use during your visit, for the day's craft and fun activities. After story time, each registered child will be given a scroll to unfold, revealing the day's story-based adventures with Zilla! You and your child(ren) are free to explore at your own pace, in your own unique way.  🌟 Oh, and... this year each registered child will receive a backpack ring with a commemorative W&W 2025 charm - plus a different Zilla charm at each event! 🌟 As part of your registration, you'll be given a space with two Adirondack chairs on our expansive front acreage, to serve as your home base. (Feel free to bring a blanket & snacks to add to the experience!) Then you'll have 2.5 hours to use as you like (come and leave when you like), to explore, observe, play, create.  Dress appropriately - closed-toe shoes, please. We don't let a few sprinkles deter us... when necessary, we provide shelter. So grab your spots and get ready to Wonder & Wander with Zilla in the great outdoors!  Spaces are limited for each event; secure yours! Adults & children under 3 are free with a registered child.  July 9 Story & Theme: Frieda B.
