Description: Join Storyteller Jen Strauss for this special Summer Peeper’s Pop-up program, Growing Green with Jenny Jean! This program is designed for a preschool audience and is all about growing things that are healthy and green. With songs, stories, puppets and props, Jenny Jean will introduce young listeners to gardening tools and gardening clothes, and participants will even meet two important garden helpers: Herman the Worm and Lady Bug Lou! Listeners will learn the importance of sun, soil, air, and water, make a rainstorm, sing songs about rainbows, and even do the Bean Planting Dance! Participants will plant their own Bean Groot in a mini-greenhouse, make their own Herman the Worm, and receive a Jenny Jean coloring sheet to take home!
