About Storytime & Playful Art - The Station

Join local artist and author Jaci Stroud for a magical session of storytelling and fun art activities.

Gather round and get comfortable as Jaci shares The Elephant and The Bee - an enchanting illustrated children’s story she wrote to raise funds for the conservation charity Save the Elephants. Follow Mwanzi, a mischievous young elephant who gets lost and must journey through the wild with courage and wit. Along the way, he discovers the importance of family, friendship, and finding where he belongs in this heartwarming tale of adventure.

After hearing all about Mwanzi and his friends, you’ll be inspired to head over to the giant drawing table to create collaborative artwork using Jaci’s illustrations and your own imagination. You’ll also have the chance to paint and experiment with fun creative effects to make your own artwork to take home, using the same watercolour inks featured in Jaci’s illustrations, along with playful techniques involving bubbles and sprinkles.

Suitable for ages 3+.
