The Magic House

Calling all superheroes! The earth needs kids' help! Join The Magic House and Gateway Greening for a Super Kids Earth Day celebration. 

Kids can get their hands dirty as they plant seeds to start their own garden at home. They'll learn about where food comes from, how composting can reduce your trash and why saving the planet can be down and dirty fun!

4 to 7 p.m. at The Magic House. Included with regular admission.

Give a hand to puppeteer Daniel Romano and his Blaque Berry Puppets as he brings his puppets to life during workshops and performances at The Magic House.

Romano is a puppeteer, storyteller, teacher and folklorist. His Blaque Berry Puppet Theater performs original stories as well as African, Irish and frontier tales at schools, libraries, fairs and festivals across the St. Louis region. Romano is on the artists' roster for Springboard, a St. Louis-based art education agency.

Kids can sharpen their knowledge of metalworking with Andrew Andrasko of Dras Fabrication + Design. They'll watch as Andrasko demonstrates the art of creating forged and fabricated metalwork.

Andrasko specializes in abstract forged and fabricated works of art ranging from sculptural to functional pieces for both public and private collections. Dras Fabrication + Design creates custom works employing a wide variety of metals as well as wood, glass and stone. 

Saturday, Feb. 20 from 9:30 to 5 p.m.

Wonder Works is an exhibit area created especially for young children, and takes curious minds and busy bodies on a fun, learning adventure filled with hands-on, feet-on activities. 

There's no business like snow business when artist Marion Nichols shares the unique art of cutting paper into intricate snowflakes at The Magic House.
