St. Louis County

Activities are designed to be simple enough for ages 4 and up to enjoy, yet complex enough that more experienced young artists can take their projects to another level.

At Artistic Animals, kids will learn the ways that animals display their artistic talents, meet live animals and make some animal-themed crafts to take home. This free workshop is for ages 5-10. Registration is required. 

Kids will learn the story of the alebrije dream and how it unleashed a whole new art form. Then they'll take their creativity to the wild side by blending fauna and flora into amazing animal sculptures. 

Get ready for some simple chemistry fun with Mad Science! At this free workshop, preschoolers will learn simple chemistry concepts and make some modeling dough to take home.

With the new Science Lab, kids will put on their lab coats and step into the role of a scientist. Using real tools found in professional science labs, visitors will study matter and motion, observe the life cycles of different species, investigate rocks and minerals, and explore a variety of science subjects through fun, hands-on experiences. 

The exhibit is inspired by the art and characters of the beloved children's book author and illustrator, Mo Willems. Many familiar characters will be featured, including best friend duo Elephant and Piggie, faithful companion Knuffle Bunny, and The Pigeon, the wily city bird best known for his antics in Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Activities will give children the opportunity to make art that is inspired by Mo Willems and to learn about the rich social and emotional lives of the author's characters. 

Enjoy food, bounce houses, crafts, face painting, egg dashes and other fun activities at this free Easter Eggstravaganza.
