Come spend your Halloween with us at the Galatzan Recreation Center's HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL for Rockin' Tykes: "Fall-O-Ween!" on Saturday, October 31st, 4pm – 5pm (located at 650 Wallenberg - behind the blue building that is the Natatorium). The carnival runs from 3-6pm, so come early and stay after our event for even more FREE and fun activities! We will be exploring fall themes and activities, childhood games, gross motor and fine motor movement in counting, sensory activities, and more! Tickets for this event are sponsored by the El Paso Community Foundation, and are therefore FREE - ONLY the PARTICIPATING CHILD needs a ticket for Rockin' Tykes. Every child must be accompanied by an adult who will be participating with them throughout the entire hour-long session. Event is for participants 18 months to 4 years of age, though some younger and slightly older kids have also been known to enjoy the activities. Attendance will be capped at 20 children. ROCKIN’ TYKES is a one-hour music-filled workshop for children (ages 18 months-4 years of age plus) and their parents/guardians using music and other art forms. The class is run by speech-language pathologists and other providers specializing in early intervention. It aims to help children reach age-appropriate developmental milestones and encourage parent-child and peer-to-peer interaction, while simultaneously promoting the arts. We strive to host the event at different community locations to expose families to child/art friendly spaces throughout the city. ***Photography and Video will be taken during sessions and this will be used for recaps of the event, as well as for promotional materials.*** WELLNESS BENEFITS of attending Rockin’ Tykes events: · Communication: Developing speech and language skills via use of music and rhythmic exercises · Motor: Developing and exercising fine and gross motor skills · Self-Help/Adaptive: Developing motor and cognitive skills needed for activities of daily living · Social: Inspire peer and parent/child interaction through participation in small- and large-group activities · Cognitive: Developing skills in the following areas - attention, problem-solving, organization, emotional regulation, and behavior
