Shu Wang blew some bubbles to make bubble hats for the children to wear. The kids were eager to get their new hats on their heads.

Kids listened to Shu Wang play her violin while Matt sang songs. The children played along with their instruments — their magic eggs, which shake and make music.

A group of young children got the chance to watch a special performance last month and have some participatory fun in the process when Turtle Dance Music came to Baldwin Public Library.

The event on Aug. 21 was a special program for Read-To-Me Club members, which had 129 children this summer from ages 2 to entering kindergarten. The club ran from June 30 to Aug. 13 and allowed children to report the number of books they read each week and earn prizes for reaching milestones.

When the Turtle Dance Music program came to town, children sat, danced, played instruments and sang songs at the end-of-summer celebration.
