Children and their parents love story times. Each restaurant builds a "Kids Club" of families who come to the restaurant every week for the story time.

All Merry Makers artists love children. Story time in the restaurants becomes a "Kids Club" where community families regularly come to meet.

Every child is welcome at "Kids Club". Between story times children receive free balloon sculpture.

"Kids Club" is where children meet new friends (and so do Moms). Between story time hours children also receive free hand painting or face painting

Face painting is one of kids favorite activities and becomes a highlight of the day.

Each story time begins with fun music and movement that relates to the theme the artist is working with.

During story time a puppet comes out, helping the artist to settle the children and direct their thinking to what the story will teach

Children are invited to participate in the discussions that puppet brings about

The story teller spins her tale, delighting and entertaining the children and their families

A story can be read from a book. Merry Makers keeps a collection of finest children stories.

Sometimes a story is told using simple props, sometimes felt boards, other times puppets.

Children love interactive stories. They love to participate and answer questions. Younger children are prepared for school.

Even parents love to listen to the story. "Kids Club" is a place where families come together to meet new friends, build new friendships.

Balloons and face paintings are offered between each story time.
