With Matt as your guide, kids get up close with a variety of his roommates, some which are furry, scaly, and quite often have four legs. During this informal drop-in, Matt explains how they move, live, and interact with him in their own unique ways. It’s always a chance to learn something new! 

Want to make a little art? For real. We’ve got mini canvases ready and waiting—just add a paintbrush loaded with color and imagination to turn them into tiny masterpieces. Big creativity, small scale. The Louvre’s got nothing on this Museum!

Even the celebrations go small this week! Kiddos design their own mini piñatas, wrapping tiny shapes in colorful crepe paper strips, layer by layer.   Take it home, fill it with treats, and you’ve got a pocket-sized party waiting for the perfect moment to burst open.

It’s Mini Week, and we’re giving this diminutive critter a little extra rizz with plenty of sparkle. Because honestly, sparkles make everything better. Kids will create a swirly snail shell, add some shimmer, and then sculpt a clay body to bring their tiny gastropod to life. It’s a miniature masterpiece with maximum personality.

You're cordially invited to a magical Princess Tea Party.  Dress in your royal best and enjoy "tea and a mini sweet" with Cinderella.  Design your own crown or tiara and then give us your best glass slipper pose as you take your picture with Cinderella.  Space and time is limited! Sign up at the front…

Did you know an ant can carry up to 50 times its own weight? These incredible little workers may be easy to overlook, they're getting the spotlight they deserve. Make your own underground ant tunnel scenes and add plastic ants to bring the busy colony to life.

Explore. Discover. Play. That's what August Adventures, presented by the Highland Street Foundation, is all about! This annual program encourages families to visit museums, parks, cultural attractions, and community organizations throughout the month of August—and the Children's Museum Easton is proud to be part of it. Visit us on Sunday, August 16, for a day…

Matt makes one last appearance for the summer.  What do you think he’ll bring with him this time? We’re always eager to see who makes the cut — and which lucky critter gets promoted to “fan favorite.” Stop by the lower level to learn about Matt’s amazing pets, hear their stories, and get up close…

Go big or go home! Come to CME on to create your very own GIANT pinwheel! Will it spin in the breeze? Absolutely. Will it make you smile? We think so. Will your grown-up secretly wish they made one too? Almost certainly. 

Giant Week continues as we make dino tails! Pick your favorite color, then design your own prehistoric pattern—spots, stripes, plaids… who’s to say otherwise? Have fun, get creative, and be fierce!
