Join us for YALA Baby Artsplay!™ Getting To Know You Series: Workshop 6 - “Get Your Motor Running” (Motor Skills) at the New Orleans Jazz Museum on Sunday, November 10th at 10:30 AM CST in the Drumsville Exhibition, (circular room), on the 2nd floor of the New Orleans Jazz Museum.

A toddler's energy seems infinite before the nap-time crash. What if you could use art to focus that energy, for their benefit (and yours!). Use artful play to develop your child’s fine and gross motor skills.

The 30-minute workshops allow children to explore, observe and investigate their world and the museum through song, dance and movement experiences. Now in its seventh year, Baby Artsplay!™ presented by The Helis Foundation is engaging families with infants and toddlers through multi-sensory interactive sessions at local cultural, arts, and history institutions. Caregivers learn how they can use arts strategies to promote childhood development in their everyday life. Their community partners include: New Orleans Museum of Art, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, New Orleans African American Museum, Newcomb Art Museum and the New Orleans Jazz Museum.

This free 6-part workshop series is made possible by The Helis Foundation. The workshops provide engaging arts-based activities designed to instruct caregivers on how to use the arts at home to promote early learning. Lessons are conducted by certified Louisiana Wolf Trap Teaching Artists, who have expertly crafted multi-sensory experiences that foster children’s natural curiosity for learning. After each workshop, children and their caregivers can download the digital Connection Cards for tips on how workshop activities can be continued at home.

The YALA Baby Artsplay!™ workshops are for ages 0-2.
