A sensory friendly exploration of how differences make us special and unique. Audience is invited to sing and move like Tacky, his friends, and the hunters as we explore the land of the penguins with different tactile activities you can do from your home! In this sensory exploration, tacky makes fun ice sculptures. You can freeze your ice sculpture ahead of time for this program by taking an ice tray filling with water and adding your favorite coloring then freezing overnight in time for this class.
