Family Saturdays occur on the first Saturday of every month. These programs are designed for our youngest historians—ages 2 to 8—and their families, but all ages are welcome!
Saturday, March 1: Join us for this month’s Family Saturday for “Klondike Gold Rush,” an interactive performance by Living Voices. Participants will follow the story of one independent young woman in the Klondike who risks everything for the promise of wealth and a fresh start during a time of global turmoil.
Saturday, April 5: This month’s story is The Perfect Fit, by Naomi Jones and James Jones, a book about geometric shapes and celebrating differences. We’ll read the book together and conduct a shape-based scavenger hunt in TOYTOPIA. Then you’ll have the chance to invent your own toy made of shapes.
Saturday, May 3: This month’s story is Very Good Hats, by Emma Straub, a book about what can be used for a hat when you use your imagination. We’ll read the book together and participate in an imaginary dress-up session in the History Lab. Then you’ll have the chance to make your very own hat!
Saturday, June 7: This month’s story is Be A Maker, by Katie Howes, a book about the many things we make and how we can make a difference in the world. We’ll read the book together and participate in a maker BINGO game. Then you’ll have the chance to make an invention of your choice.
