Early Learning: Earth Day Exploration


Early Learning: Earth Day Exploration

Get down to Earth Day at the Children’s Museum. Learn about natural materials, make a felt ball and enjoy a performance by the Junkyard Symphony.

Take some time with your little one to celebrate our big planet. Explore the Earth’s bounty by going on a natural material hunt through the International Village in the Children’s Museum. Find out why traditional houses in Nigeria are made of mud and how wool keeps Bedouin tents cool, then roll up your sleeves to make a felt ball. Finally, enjoy an interactive, energetic performance by the Junkyard Symphony, whose instruments are made completely from recycled materials.
