Option 3: Interactive Storytime + Sharing Circle Presentation: 4 Hours with lunch break
The third option introduces the children to the full-on Interactive Storytelling Experience. While this option will take a full day, it is designed to set the child's imagination ago, and stimulate the visual, auditory and textile sensory receptors into receiving the deeper messages of friendship, love and peace found in the story.
Children will take their shoes off and put on knitted slippers; they will crawl through a painted log tunnel with a soft material and foam moss floor accompanied by Hopi Traditional music playing in the background. They will dress up in colored regalia capes, bandanas, and knitted rainbow slippers. The children will gather a soft rock cushion to sit on and a real stone to hold. The children will find places to sit on 1 large square central blanket and 4 smaller square blankets in a visual world of standing artificial trees, puppet animals, a painted backdrop with Two Trees, flowers and rocks. I will sit on a mushroom stool.
Ꚛ
The introduction and story will be the same as in option 2, with an opportunity for playtime in the magical world after the Story, and for children to ask me questions.
The Sharing Circle will follow after the lunch break and extra time is given for children and me to sit in a circle to ask more questions, share stories and engage with the sacred items. The Storytelling Presentation will end with the Water Song.
