Elementary Age

Beat the heat and cool down with sweet treats at the library.

The Saint Louis Science Center hosts SciFest: Play and Creativity Expo, an all-day, free event showcasing how STEM concepts, innovation, play and creativity all go together. Visitors can get involved and engage their own creativity through exciting, hands-on activities. 

The Preschool Science Series is an open exploration learning lab for young scientists, ages 18 months to 5 years and their families. Activities are designed around research that shows children learn best through play, inquiry and shared experiences with their parents and caregivers. 

Wolves, foxes, African painted dogs, and maned wolves, oh my! Learn all about the eight species of canids (animals in the dog family) that live at the Endangered Wolf Center and what you can do to help endangered species. Attendees at this free program will also have a chance to meet an animal ambassador up close!

Master puppeteer Paul Vandivort brings three fables to life including All for City Mouse, Pink Riding Hoodie and The Monster and the Baby. 

Young artists and their families are invited to complete a fun craft activity in the galleries at the St. Louis Artists Guild. This program is designed for Pre-K to elementary-age children and their families.

Kids can get tuned into learning about science through exciting demonstrations and experiments, including a surprisingly loud dinosaur-in-a-can, the singing pipe and a kid-created thunderstorm.
