A few weeks ago, I wrote about a weekly event called Art Safari that is held at the Valley-Hi North Laguna Library. It’s presented by the Crocker Art Museum and geared for school-age kids. You can see the post with the details here.
Last Tuesday we checked it out for ourselves and had a great time! The theme for the day was animation. Employees of the Crocker read a story and led two art projects that helped the kids to better understand how animation is created. The kids were serious about their projects and pleased with their results. This new library branch is very cute and updated. I am looking forward to attending Art Safari when the weather is better because the kids are dying to try out the new park in front of the library. We’ll head over there right after school, play on the playground and then go inside for the activity. Fun and free!
Art Safari is held every Tuesday at the Valley-Hi North Laguna Library. Click here for all the details and the bonus is each participant receives a FREE family admission pass to the Crocker Art Museum!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
