Miriam P. Brenner Children's Museum

The ordinary becomes extraordinary as we turn plain cardboard into fantastical creations! The journey begins with a simple box where great ideas take shape. From there, well roll up our sleeves and get to know the tools well be using to bring these creatures to life. Campers can add unique features like wings, tails, or antennae to make their designs truly one of a kind. Whether theyre crafting a fierce dragon, a dazzling unicorn, or a brand-new species, kids will explore their creativity in a big way.

Inspiration is right outside our doors! Today, well explore the connections between nature and art as we work together on planning and implementing intentional design practices. Students can then use what theyve learned to design and construct fairy houses for the Museums garden and their very own terrarium to take home.

Join us for a day of hands-on science play! As soil scientists, we will explore the amazing ecosystem that lies beneath our feet. From wiggly worm highways to cozy animal dens to incubating sleeping seeds, well discover the many things our soil provides to sustain our planet and how to care for this incredible resource. Our day will include stories, soil-centric learning labs, crafts, and of course time to play in the Museum.
