The Singing Winds Virtual Playground
In response to COVID-19 pandemic closures in 2020, Singing Winds summer teen leaders created the Virtual Playground – a series of online events and videos for children and their families.
Free art supplies were distributed in Albemarle Playground so that families could do the projects at home.
Click on “The Singing Winds Virtual Playground” in the menu at the bottom of the home page to see more.
Each summer, The Singing Winds brings free arts & crafts, games, science projects, and storytelling programs to Albemarle Playground in Kensington, Brooklyn.
This year, The Singing Winds Virtual Playground will be online!
On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from July 21 – August 20, the Singing Winds Summer Team will post new activities for children and families via email, facebook, instagram, and YouTube.
If you enjoy the activity, and create the project at home, you are invited to post your creation to the #SingingWindsSummerFun online gallery.
