While the big kids are at school, toddlers can rule! Join us this August when toddlers have the space to climb, crawl, and explore at their own pace at the Museum!

Crafts & Daily Themes

Strengthen fine and gross motor skills with colorful crafts and explore your senses with daily themed activities.

MAKESPACE CRAFTS
Practice everyday fine motor skills with your little ones at MakeSpace craft stations that focus on cutting, gluing, holding writing utensils, and more! Cut colorful construction paper into shapes with safety scissors; use pipe cleaners, beads, and cardboard to make wacky rainbow hair self-portraits; create rainbow art with pom-poms and glue, and make pokey pool noodle sculptures with everyday craft items.

DAILY THEMES
Get ready to strengthen gross motor skills! Toddlers will get their bodies moving, wiggling, reaching, and more on themed days like Water Wednesdays when they can reach for extra toys to splash with in KidsPort, or Funky Fridays when they can stand, dance, and wiggle during music and movement storytimes.
