Artsplay!™ is the best play! Foster your child’s imagination and creative self-expression in our signature program for 3 to 5 year olds. Led by Wolf Trap Master Teaching Artists, children will stretch, wiggle, and romp in a welcoming space as they explore the characters and themes of a book through music, movement, and dramatization.
