Mini Explorer’s Club presents Story Time Trail with the Gingerbread Man

The Gingerbread Man has escaped, and he’s on the loose at the Illinois State Museum!

Families are invited to join the Mini Explorer’s Club for a special Story Time Trail adventure that brings this classic tale to life. Children can follow along the trail to hear the story of The Gingerbread Man, enjoy interactive activities, and take part in fun crafts that spark creativity. Along the way, there will be plenty of surprises, including cookies to share as a sweet treat.

This engaging program combines storytelling, exploration, and hands-on fun, making it the perfect outing for young learners and their families. As always, ISM is free to visit
