SUMMARY:Children's Storytime
DESCRIPTION:New to Gammelgården this year is children’s storytime! This program will be hosted weekly on Thursday’s at 10:30 am in the classroom upstairs.\n\nThis is a great opportunity for you and your family to partake in early literacy in your community. Early literacy programs are not designed to teach young children how to read\, rather they focus on developing skills through stories. \n\nStorytime is designed to introduce your little one to stories\, songs\, rhyming\, and other kids. Storytime often includes one to two read-alouds with one to two interactive songs\, rhymes\, or activities.\n\nStorytime will be hosted by Grace Taylor. Grace will graduate with a Master’s in Library and Information Sciences from St. Kate’s in August 2025 and has taken multiple courses in Children’s Materials and Services.

SUMMARY:The Art of Klippdockor: Paper Doll Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Maya Boo for a hands-on paper doll workshop inspired by Swedish immigrant folk traditions. In the 1800s\, immigrant families in Minnesota created “klippdockor” (cut-out dolls) from wallpaper scraps\, magazines\, and reused household materials.\n\nIn this class\, participants will learn about the history of these handmade toys while designing and decorating their own paper dolls\, complete with clothing and accessories. Each participant will take home two dolls\, outfits\, and ideas to continue creating at home.\n\nIf you would like to participate but are unable to afford the course fee\, please email volunteer@gammelgardenmuseum.org.\n\nCancellation Policy: Up to 3 weeks before the event – 50% refund. Under 3 weeks before the event\, no refunds.\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\n\nMaya Boo is a multidisciplinary mixed media and apparel artist based in St. Paul\, Minnesota\, and a 2025 Gammelgården Museum Intern. Her work explores themes of identity\, culture\, healing\, and joy through textiles\, paint\, and found objects. She is a board member of the St. Paul Art Collective and has had exhibitions and organized art events throughout the Twin Cities. Maya is passionate about keeping folk art traditions alive and making creative practices accessible to all ages and abilities.

SUMMARY:Fars Dag (Father's Day) in Sweden
DESCRIPTION:Fars Dag – or Father’s Day – is celebrated on the second Sunday in November in Sweden\, instead of in June. Father’s Day in Sweden was initially celebrated in June\, but then various commercial organizations wanted it moved in 1931\, so it wouldn’t compete with Mother’s Day (Mors dag) on the last Sunday of May.
