The Magic of Spring!

Creative Play is a fun, hands-on program for children ages 2 – 5. Our museum educators lead little learners on small gallery adventures that spark imagination and inspire storytelling, followed by a simple craft that encourages creativity and play. Hummingbirds zip from bloom to bloom, and butterflies flutter like floating petals, which makes May feel extra special!
