Bring a Memory to Life: A See Memory Stop-Motion Animation Workshop

NYPL Riverside Library · Lincoln Square

Bring a Memory to Life is a hands-on stop-motion animation workshop for children ages 6–12 that explores memory, creativity, and well-being through art. The session begins with a short excerpt from the Emmy-nominated animated documentary See Memory, followed by an introduction to frame-by-frame animation. Children will then use drawing and collage to recreate a meaningful personal memory and transform it into their own short stop-motion film. Through creative storytelling and self-expression, the workshop invites young participants to reflect on their memories, share their experiences, and experience the joy of bringing their own artwork to life. All crafting supplies will be provided.

Spanish Afterschool (Younger Elementary. Ages 5-8)

Urzua Performing Arts · Lincoln Square

Toc Toc is a dynamic Spanish experience where children build language skills through conversation, projects, games, culture, creativity, and real interaction. Designed for children ages 5–8, our program helps students move beyond isolated vocabulary and start using Spanish in more meaningful ways. Through storytelling, music, movement, hands-on projects, collaborative games, cultural themes, reading, writing, and guided conversation, children build confidence understanding and expressing themselves in Spanish. Whether your child is a beginner, bilingual, or somewhere in between, our teachers meet them at their level and help them grow with structure, encouragement, and joy. We’re not a traditional tutoring program or worksheet-based class. Our curriculum is created by language educators and Montessori-trained teachers, with a research-informed approach that respects how children actually learn. Children learn languages best when they are engaged, curious, emotionally connected, and invited to use the language with purpose.

Spanish After Preschool (Ages 3–5)

Urzua Performing Arts · Lincoln Square

More than an afterschool class — Toc Toc is a language-rich space where children play, move, create, socialize, and naturally absorb Spanish through meaningful experiences. Designed for children ages 3–5, our program combines language learning, movement, music, hands-on exploration, storytelling, art, practical life activities, and guided social interaction. Children are welcomed at their own level of Spanish, whether they are beginners, bilingual, or somewhere in between. Instead of memorizing vocabulary or being pressured to “perform,” children build comprehension, confidence, and real connection with the language through repetition, play, and routine. Our curriculum is created by language educators and Montessori-trained teachers, with a research-informed approach that respects how young children actually learn. Children learn languages best through relationships, repetition, meaningful experiences, and emotional connection — and that’s exactly what Toc Toc is built around.
