  • Patriotic Windsock

    Nothing says “summer celebration” quite like a patriotic windsock dancing around in the breeze! Kids will create their own red, white, and blue windsocks with stars, streamers, and plenty of festive flair — because honestly, what’s a party without one?

  • Red, White & Blue Necklaces

    Wear your patriotism on your sleeve... or your wrist! Join us on as we create red, white, and blue necklaces inspired by America's 250th birthday. Kids can mix, match, and design their own wearable masterpiece while celebrating this historic milestone. They're as fun to make as they are to wear,

  • Stars & Stripes Poppers

    We're turning patriotic colors into high-flying fun on Friday with our patriotic pompom poppers! Kiddos will build their own launcher and put their engineering skills to the test as red, white, and blue pompoms soar through the air. Who says learning about science and motion can't be a blast? Just be warned: once the pompoms…

  • CME is Closed

    CME is Closed

    The CME will be closed on Saturday to celebrate the 4th!  We are now closed on Sundays for the month of July and August.

  • Fiery Meteor

    Young space explorers can create their own fiery meteor as we bring a little cosmic excitement to the Museum. Fortunately, this meteor is made of paper and imagination—not like the real one that lit up Massachusetts skies a few weeks ago before splashing down! 

  • Shooting Star

    You know what they say: if you wish upon a star, your dreams just might come true. And if your wish is for an afternoon filled with creativity and fun, you're definitely in the right place.

  • Galaxy Necklace

    This is one we've been looking forward to! String together your very own planetary necklace using a variety of beads that represent the planets in our solar system. Part craft, part science lesson, and completely out of this world, this activity lets kids design a wearable model of our solar system. Pretty clever, right?

  • Dark Side of the Moon

    Inspired by the spirit of exploration and the four brave astronauts who recently ventured farther than anyone had gone before, we're creating a Dark Side of the Moon hanging craft.  Design your own moon artwork using groovy, organic backgrounds that capture the mysterious darkness of deep space.

  • Chalk Cosmos

    Chalk Cosmos

    Sometimes making art means thinking outside the box. Sometimes it means smashing chalk with a hammer! As layers blend together, the artwork begins to resemble a distant galaxy swirling across the night sky. The colorful clouds seen in photos from powerful telescopes are made up of glowing gases and cosmic dust. Blues, reds, pinks, and…

  • Animal World Experience

    Matt from @AnimalWorldExperience is coming on Thursday—and we can’t wait to see which creatures from his wild and wonderful menagerie he’ll bring along! As an animal expert, Matt loves sharing fun facts, stories, and tips on how to care for his furry, scaly, and maybe even spiky friends. Come with your curiosity and your questions……

  • There is “Gnome” Place like Home

    Let's add some midsummer magic to your garden!  Use your imagination and create a home for a gnome.  When you are done, create a story about the gnome that lives in the home.  What do they do for fun?  What do they like to eat?  

  • Pom Pom Poppers

    Fun for all ages, a little bit loud, and just the right amount of chaotic—our pompom shooters are back! Customize your launcher with stickers, color, and flair, then test them out in a friendly “who can hit the target” showdown.
