Every fall, the Museum closes for a short time so we can give it the TLC it deserves. While our doors are temporarily closed, our team is hard at work deep cleaning, touching up paint, refreshing exhibits, and adding new hands-on manipulatives to make every visit even more fun and engaging. We'll be back on… |

We will celebrate creativity, courage, and the power of one small idea with an activity inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ beloved book The Dot.

This craft will really stick with you. Who knew dry spaghetti could make such perfect porcupine quills? Push dry spaghetti strands into clay to create these prickly but adorable little creatures, giving those little hand muscles a great workout, too! |

Sometimes the best craft supplies are already waiting in your backyard! This adorable little critter got a wonderfully prickly makeover with sticks collected right from outside! Kids will love selecting their own “quills” and gluing them onto their porcupine’s back. |

As autumn arrives, leaves go through an amazing natural transformation. The green fades away, revealing beautiful shades of red, orange, and gold. We’re bringing that colorful science to the craft table on Wednesday. Kids can create their own one-of-a-kind fall leaf by blending paints together, using a technique that keeps all the mixing neatly contained.… |

Kids get to play Mother Nature for the day! Sticks glued to a backing board become the trunks and branches, and then it’s time to decorate. Tissue squares, dot markers, or jewel-toned fabric can transform their little trees into colorful creations that are completely their own. |

What if a face didn’t have to look… well, like a face? That’s part of what made Pablo Picasso, our Artist of the Month, such a revolutionary artist. He looked at familiar things, like faces, and broke them apart, rearranged them and put them back together in unexpected ways. 
NEW! Stories introduce toddlers to new words, ideas, characters and experiences while helping build the foundation for a lifelong love of reading. That’s the idea behind Pages & Play, a new class on Thursdays where a great children’s book is just the beginning. We might create something, play a game, move like the characters, pretend… |

Butterflies get all the glory, but moths are pretty fascinating, too. There are more than 160,000 known species of moths, and they come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns. Some even use camouflage to disappear right before your eyes. |

Is yours spooky? Silly? Surprised? Slightly grumpy because someone woke it from its pumpkin patch nap? Kids can glue their very own orange paper gourd onto a textured black background and then give it a face that’s entirely their own. No pumpkin-carving tools required—just glue, creativity, and a lot of Halloween spirit! |
