Parent with Child

Visit Play Street Museum's newest attraction – the Pop-Up Art Studio! In the studio, kids can focus on process art, which allows children to develop their own creations. Process art is more about the creation, imagination, and development rather than the final art projects.

Kids can learn how to play it safe starting September 12 when Kirkwood Safety Town returns to The Magic House.
