ManaTales is a Mommy-and-Me style storytime at the Manatee Center in Fort Pierce, held on Thursday mornings in the outdoor classroom by the Indian River Lagoon. It's an easy, low-key outing for a parent or guardian and their little ones who like stories, songs and getting their hands busy.
Each session has a themed story, a hands-on activity, and time for music and movement. Families also get free passes to the Manatee Center and a discount at the Gift Store, so you can stay afterward and look for manatees from the lagoon.
Two sessions are offered each ManaTales morning, one from 9:30 to 10:30 am and one from 11:00 am to noon. The Manatee Center is at 480 N Indian River Drive in Fort Pierce.
You need to RSVP using the form on the Manatee Center's event page. Pick your date and session time, and list the names and ages of the children coming. The center says space fills quickly, so sign up early. Please don't bring food to the program. Drinks are fine, and there is a refillable water station inside.
No separate fee is listed for ManaTales. General admission to the center is $3 per person, and children 5 and under get in free with an adult. Questions? Call 772-429-6266 x3337.
