Elementary Age

Make art. Go on a guided tour, DIY a time capsule. Peek behind the scenes. Watch the Cassily Crew at work. Help inspect the slides. All from home! Every Monday through Friday the staff, crew, artists and historians at City Museum are going LIVE on Facebook to share stories, offer free art classes, and entertain kids and families in all the ways they know how (read: mischief, mayhem and making). 

Beat the heat and celebrate Christmas early this year at Christmas in July with the Brentwood Parks & Rec Department. Wear your best Christmas attire and bring your holiday spirit while enjoying a morning filled with games, crafts and fun. You'll even have the chance to have a glass of milk and cookies with Santa Claus! Pre-registration and parent participation is required. For ages 2 and up. 

Kids can enjoy an evening at the Brentwood Community Center where they'll have a chance to bake, decorate and then eat the cupcakes they create! They'll learn new and exciting ways to decorate a cupcake using different ingredients and toppings. Each parent and child will have the opportunity to bring home their cupcakes at the end of the class. 

In-person story times are on hold, but children can still enjoy virtual story times from the expert storytellers at the St. Louis County Library! 

Party Animals Mobile will be at Baked! on Main Street in St. Charles for a Stuff-a-Bear Party and Animal Cookie Decorating event for kids. Participants can pick one of three full size, 16-inch animals to stuff in the mini workshop (unicorn, dinosaur or black bear), and get a free picture taken them and their new friend. 

The Magic House is bringing innovative, hands-on learning to you at home with its #MagicAtHome series of interactive, instructional online presentations.
