There are murmurings of summer being over. Well, let’s make it clear that summer is NOT over. We’ve got at least 3 weeks of warmth left, right? To prove that summer is still with us I took a walk through the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden this afternoon. The late August sun blanketed the sculptures and many people were out and about including Walker Info Guide Nancy Beach.
Nancy was sharing her garden wisdom with visitors and checking out the beautiful, newly designed Garden WAC Packs to interested families. As you can see from the photo the packs are actually red totes filled with a variety of hands-on activities that encourage deep and fun engagement with the sculptures in the garden. Kids and caretakers alike will enjoy activating their minds, bodies and imaginations with activities such as “ Balancing Act,” “ Txt Msgs” and “ Match Quest.”
The Garden WAC Packs are free and can be checked out at the Bazinet Lobby desk, from Info Guides in the garden at the WAC Pack Cart, or, beginning soon, from a staff person or volunteer in the FlatPak House.
