It's bath time for the museum! 🫧 We will be CLOSED September 7 - 11 for our annual cleaning days.

Follow along for an oddly satisfying week of scrubbing, washing, and a metric ton of bubbles.

Sometimes the best ideas start with, “What if we tried THIS?” 🤔

In Design Park, kids can create new paths and put their collaborative engineering skills to work. Can they spot a gap in the route? Find a new way to get the ball from here to there?

3 reasons to read their favorite book for the 100th time ⬇️

🔵 Repetition and familiar stories builds connections, helping kids remember new words and patterns.
🟡 Knowing what comes next helps kids finish sentences and build language skills.

Art can be about so much more than what we create; it can be an opportunity to connect and belong!

Through Able Arts, students with disabilities have the opportunity to experiment with different art forms while creating alongside their peers in an inclusive, welcoming environment.

One of our regulars, 11-year-old Miranda, hasn’t missed a single Saturday session! Her favorite air-dry clay sculptures have grown into an impressive collection.

Her grandmother, Robin, shared what the program has meant to their family:

“[it] allows our children with unique abilities the chance to participate in a group social activity where they have the opportunity to try new types of art and make friends in a safe place where they can be a part of a group.”

A colorful day starts here ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
