Elementary Age

The Missouri History Museum celebrates education and family learning with History Exploration Days! On Fridays and Saturdays from September to May (excluding November), families with kids of all ages can explore a different historical topic—together! All activities are FREE. While Friday’s fun-filled activities are geared to homeschoolers, Saturday’s sessions are open to all learners.

Families are invited to the Saint Louis Art Museum on Sunday afternoon to participate in free hands-on art activities with fun themes and to explore the galleries. Each Family Sunday focuses on a different family-friendly theme. 

Storytelling in the Museum is an in-person storytelling event happening at 10:30 a.m. at the Missouri History Museum. This event, perfect for the preschool set, features engaging stories with themes like Juneteenth, Sweet Treats, Summer and more. Storytelling in the Museum is free.

Visit the Easter Bunny and hunt for egg at this annual community Easter Egg Hunt in Eureka. Children will be divided into groups by age for the hunts, and a free pancake breakfast will be served.

Kids can explore a collection of big trucks and safety vehicles on display at Eureka High School during Big Truck and Safety Day. 

Bring your kids to the Missouri History Museum for the Winter Getaway and enjoy free holiday and history-themed activities for the whole family.

Color can be seen all around us in nature, especially when looking at the animals. At President's Day Camp: Animal Artists at the Saint Louis Zoo, campers will learn about how art is used for animal enrichment at the Zoo. Get your paints, crayons, and markers ready and create colorful masterpieces!
