Title:
October at the Niantic Children’s Museum: Week-by-Week Activities for Preschoolers

Synopsis:
A week-by-week roundup of preschool programs at Niantic Children’s Museum, featuring Animal Food Art and Animals Abound. Includes dates, what kids will learn, and a summary of each class, with key details pulled from the museum’s event pages.

Notes on sources:
– Animal Food Art Preschool events page excerpt shows a four-week, 1-hour Wednesday series (Oct. 1–Oct. 22) for ages 3–5, with hands-on animal-themed snack art (vegetable caterpillars, butterflies, ocean-themed pancakes), member vs. nonmember pricing, and preregistration requirements.
– Animals Abound Preschool events page excerpt covers a four-week, 2-hour Tuesday series (Sept. 30–Oct. 21) and a four-week, 1-hour Friday series (Oct. 3–Oct. 24), both for ages 3–5, with snack breaks, live guest mentions, and pricing.

Suggested structure for each week (example format you can reuse):
– Week of Oct. 1: Animal Food Art Preschool (Wednesday, 1–2 pm)
– Focus: Creating animals from snacks; vegetable caterpillars, butterflies; ocean-themed pancakes.
– What kids learn: Fine motor skills, following directions, early science concepts (different habitats/foods).
– Details: 4-week series; ages 3–5; preregistration required; member vs nonmember pricing; includes museum admission.

– Week of Oct. 2–Oct. 3: Animals Abound Preschool (Tuesday or Friday sessions)
– Focus: Exploring animals from various environments; live guest mentions; snacks and bathroom breaks.
– What kids learn: Animal habitats, observation skills, social-emotional readiness for independent participation.
– Details: Four-week series; 2-hour (Tue) or 1-hour (Fri); ages 3–5; preregistration; pricing varies by member status.

If you’d like, I can:
– Extract and normalize exact dates/times and pricing into a concise week-by-week calendar.
– Create a short, engaging introductory paragraph for readers.
– Draft a final gallery-ready blurb and a brief “What to bring/what to know” tip list for parents.
