This imaginative children’s program connects stories to hands-on experiences on the farm. Each month will feature a different farm-related book with a chance to do an activity around the site, make a craft, and enjoy a snack. This class is designed for preschool aged children, ages 3-5, and requires an adult companion.

One adult is admitted free with your paid child(children). Adult attendance is required. There is a limit of one adult per child. Your registration fee does not cover admission to Billings Farm & Museum, but you are more than welcome to purchase admission if you would like to visit the site after the program.  Billings Farm & Museum will be open for general admission for the Sensory Story Time session in April and from June through October.

Younger siblings are welcome to join their parent or guardian during the program, but will not participate in the Pre-K craft and activities which are designed for children ages 3-5. A coloring area will be available during the program for younger children.

Sensory Story Time Selections & Dates

Stranger in the Woods

by Carl R. Sams II & Jean Stoick
Wednesday, January 8, 9:30AM – 11:00AM

As forest animals, awakened by the birds’ warning, venture out to uncover a stranger in the woods, children will be delighted to discover a wonderful surprise. After the story, children will explore animal tracks through tactile sensory play, create their own playdough tracks, and enjoy a snack.

Not Now, Cow

by Tammi Sauer
Wednesday, February 12, 9:30AM – 11:00AM

Rooster and his farm friends are ready for springtime play. But not Cow, who can’t seem to dress for the weather. This tale brings laughter and learning as Cow wears mittens in spring, ski-pants and wool in summer, and a bathing suit and flip flops in winter. Children will learn about the ways to care for cows throughout the seasons and join the chorus of “Not NOW, Cow!” Following the story there will be farm sensory play and a snack. This session will include outside and barn time. Please come prepared in outdoor clothing.
