Bedtime Stories
The Southampton Arts Center's online Bedtime Stories series continues on Sunday. In "Enzo and the Christmas Tree Hunt" by Garth Stein, Enzo, a funny but wise pup, visits a Christmas tree farm and helps a friend who gets lost. The author himself will read to the children. Kids are encouraged to don their pajamas ahead of time to get ready for bed and then settle in for the 7:30 p.m. story session. Sign-up information is at southamptonartscenter.org.

The Montauk Library will also have special evening bedtime stories online each Saturday this month at 7 p.m. Story titles and links can be found on the children's blog at montauklibrary.org.

A Merry Victorian Christmas
The Moran Studio, part of the East Hampton Historical Society, is open for socially distant tours tomorrow and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The studio is all decked out in Victorian finery with displays of toys, furnishings, and clothing from the era. Tours are half an hour each and cost $5 per person. Tickets can be bought through a link at easthamptonhistory.org.

An Artful Break
The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill is holding three family art workshops during the schools' holiday break week. The free, online workshops, each from 1 to 2 p.m., will incorporate common art supplies such as paper, watercolor sets, rulers, pencils, and crayons. On Dec. 29, the theme is "room with a view," in which participants will paint what they see through the windows of their homes. On Dec. 30, the theme is abstract gestural paintings, and on Dec. 31 it will be geometric shapes. More information is at parrishart.org/education/childrens-programs.

Zooming Together
The East Hampton Library will host a holiday movie night for teens from 5 to 7 on Tuesday over Zoom. The movie title will be announced on Instagram. Sign-up is at easthamptonlibrary.org.

Project Most Programs
There will be a colorful canvas-tape painting class for kids ages 3 and 4 on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. through Project Most. Later, at 12:30 p.m., there will be a "dinosaur launch" engineering activity for kids in kindergarten through third grade, and at 2 p.m. a version of the canvas-tape painting activity will be available for kids in fourth through sixth grades.

A fitness class on Saturday for children in second through fifth grades will start at 11:45 a.m. Conversational Spanish classes are at 10 that day for 4-year-olds up through first grade, and at 11:30 for first and second graders.

All of Project Most's classes are held at the East Hampton Neighborhood House and cost $20, or $15 for members. They are limited in size for safety, so advance sign-up is required by emailing [email protected].
