Storytime & Play Date

Outdoor story time, sensory play, songs, and nature fun for toddlers, preschoolers, and caregivers at Neptune’s Forest!
About this Event

Join Neptune’s Forest and The Shared Motherhood for a cozy outdoor Storytime Playdate at Lake Lawson/Lake Smith Natural Area!

This special gathering is designed for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their caregivers to connect through stories, sensory play, nature exploration, and open-ended outdoor fun. Families will enjoy a relaxed morning filled with read-aloud stories, creative sensory invitations, songs, and opportunities to play and connect in nature together.

At Neptune’s Forest, we believe children learn best through meaningful experiences, movement, imagination, and connection with the natural world. This event is a beautiful opportunity to slow down, build community, and experience the joy of child-led outdoor play.

Come dressed for outdoor play and exploration. We recommend bringing a blanket, water, sunscreen, and clothing that can get a little messy.

Wednesday, July 1 | 10:00 AM–12:00 PM

Registration is required. We can’t wait to play, read, and explore with you!
