If you are the kind of parent who likes his children to learn in a fun way, there is a great series of events you should know about. On Thursdays, July 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, August 6, 13 and 20, Tryon Palace will host the “Tryon’s Tales for Tots” where stories and craft demonstrations will teach the little ones about how our ancestors lived. The sessions are for pre-schoolers (ages 3-5), so of course Mom or Dad has to go too. The fee is $4 per child, but the adults are free.

Bring your kids to learn about life in the past, and maybe learn a little yourself! The sessions are Thursdays from 10:00am-11:00am. Register at the Tryon Palace Visitors’s Center, 610 Pollack St., New Bern.
