SUMMARY:Hikayat Wa Fan, Storytelling & Art
DESCRIPTION:Join Al-Bustan for a fun-filled afternoon of storytelling 
 and art-making for children & families at one of our favorite places t
 o play, Smith Memorial Playground & Playhouse!Storytelling is one of t
 he oldest art practices in history and is an especially important oral
  tradition within Arab culture. This spring event is fun for the whole
  family and will feature local Arabic storytellers, Eliane Sfeir-Marku
 s, Nashid Ali, and Susan Fayad. Each brings their own distinctive stor
 ytelling style in English and Arabic. Children are given the opportuni
 ty to develop new language skills by learning Arabic words through int
 eractive storytelling methods. With a full schedule, children can cho
 ose from participating in storytelling, enjoying the playground, or en
 gaging in the various art activities that will be offered including: d
 esigning geometric patterns –a familiar Arab tradition of art-making
 , making a Masbaha (prayer beads), and writing their names in Arabic c
 alligraphy.\n\nFor more information visit http://phillytodo.com/events
