About the Event
Join all your friends from NWPB and Molly of Denali for a free, fun morning exploring together!
Children can meet and take their picture with PBS Kids character Molly of Denali and participate in a wide-range of STEAM activities appropriate for children 2-8 and their families. Children will even get a book of their choice and an Explore Together/Exploremos cinch bag while supplies last.
Meet Molly from PBS Kids!
Get ready to sled into fun with Molly of Denali!
Join Molly, an Alaska Native girl, her dog Suki, and friends Tooey and Trini on their adventures in epically beautiful Alaska. Along the way, Molly’s life is enhanced, kept on track, and flat-out saved by maps, guide books, websites, weather reports, and more.
Molly of Denali is designed to help kids ages 4-8 develop knowledge and skills for interacting with informational texts through video content, interactive games, and real-world activities. A foundational aspect of literacy education, informational texts are designed to convey information, and include written words, images, and oral language. In each episode, Molly’s life and adventures are enhanced, illuminated, and broadened by using and creating a variety of informational texts, including:
- Books
- Online resources
- Field guides
- Historical archives
- Indigenous knowledge from elders
- Maps
- Charts
- Posters
- Photos and more.
Molly also shares the information that she gathers through a vlog, offering short-form videos in which she shares aspects of her life in Alaska with kids in the lower 48 states and around the world.
