Save the date for story time! 📖 🌈 On Saturday, June 20th at 11 a.m., meet the creators of the picture book KITTY CATERPILLAR, a story about a one-of-a-kind creature who's part kitty-cat, part caterpillar and 100% adorable. Join authors Annabeth Bondor-Stone and Connor White (and their Kitty Caterpillar puppet!) for an interactive, laugh-out-loud story time that celebrates curiosity, friendship and the great outdoors.

“Again!” — every toddler’s favorite word. 😄

So we listened! Some beloved museum favorites are making their return to the floor, ready for more building, pretending, exploring, and joyful repeat performances. ✨

Revisiting favorite play experiences helps build confidence, creativity, and connection. Also… it’s just really fun. 💛
