Casey Carle: Bubblemania!

 

We’re so excited to have Casey Carle here for Take Your Child to the Library Day 2024! Bubblemania! is an extremely unique program, combining high-energy entertainment with artistic achievement. It has visual comedy, quick wit, big band swing music, and the untamed, often unbelievable, qualities and beauty of spherical liquids. Casey’s creations grow from intricate and imaginative bubble art forms to “trapping” people inside bubbles. The entire family will have fun!  This event is for all ages and registration is required. 

This program is made possible with help from CT Humanities.

This program is specifically designed for younger children and their caregivers with a focus on developmental milestones achieved through interactive music-making. Instruments for even the smallest of hands will be available. Live singing and instrument play will be paired with nursery rhymes and original songs to target speech and language, engagement, motor coordination, and parent/child bonds. We are excited that a professional from Infinity Music Therapy will be our leader!
