OSK COMMUNITY

Hi @Everyone - there is a new group starting in Newport called Little Rippers!

This group will be meeting on Thursdays starting in July. As we start the process of getting it in motion, we want to prioritize existing OSK members for spots in this group. If you are interested in joining the Thursday group in Newport please fill out the waitlist form and select Little Rippers.

We will also be creating an "All Access Pass" Membership that allows OSK members to float across all programs, five days a week. This pass will be available once registration for Little Rippers is open.

Exciting stuff!

Becoming a Group Leader is no small feat—it’s a leap of courage, creativity, and community-building. These women are rising in motherhood and rising to the occasion, volunteering their time to help more families connect with their children outside. It takes guts to build something from the soil up—but when that something is rooted in the joy of childhood, the reward is a forest of laughter, learning, and connection. 🌱✨

I had to share this with everyone. I am cracking myself up on how actually mortifying this could be for a kid. But then I realized, I made this... so I am just questioning my mental health at this point.

This is the activity we will be doing with the Little Tweets group tomorrow at the Norman Bird Sanctuary.

There is a Challenge & Prize that I want to open up to EVERYONE. Regardless if you do this with the Little Tweets tomorrow, or do it on your own at home, please text me your photos (401-418-2295) or send them as a Message on the mobile app. I will do a poll on our Instagram story, and the family with the most votes will get Free Enrollment in our 2025 Little Tweets Summer of Sensory Program!

Bring a tree to life with natural clay and found materials! In this hands-on outdoor art activity, families will sculpt faces on fallen trees, large logs, or big rocks using clay and natural elements like leaves, twigs, and seeds. Encourage children to give their tree a name and a personality while practicing literacy skills through engaging conversations. Also, enter to win free enrollment for the 2025 Little Tweets Summer of Sensory Program!
