Song, movement and creative play frame this free vocabulary session for children from birth through age five and their grown-ups, meeting Aug. 21 at Woodlawn United Methodist.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
The title points to a shadow-themed prompt, but the published plan is broader: children and caregivers will explore new words through music, movement and hands-on creative play.
ArtPlay describes Vocabby as fond of his shadow, giving this edition its “Me and My Shadow” theme. The activity description focuses on how the session works: song, movement and creative play, with hands-on activities intended to reinforce new vocabulary. It does not name a particular shadow-themed craft or provide a timed sequence, so families can expect a mix of approaches rather than a published run of activities.

ArtPlay and McWane Science Center established Vocabby’s World in 2016, with support from the PNC Foundation. The program uses Vocabby’s imagined travels to bring arts and science into vocabulary learning for pre-K children. It serves families in Woodlawn, Titusville and nearby neighborhoods; this session brings that community-focused program to Woodlawn United Methodist.
