springtime fun in St. Louis for kids

Celebrate pollinators at Pollinator Fair Days at The Butterfly House. Visitors will play games, make crafts, and meet experts as they learn about how nature's smallest animals help gardens in a big way. 

COCA begins a new tradition with its premiere of the COCAwrites Festival, a showcase of new work for multigenerational audiences created by a multigenerational team of theater artists. This year, the festival takes place outdoors on COCA's east lot, as well as virtually, on March 27-28 and is part of the COCA Presents season. 

Enjoy messy art projects in COCA's outdoor art studio during Splatter Paint Saturday Mornings.

Kids can search for glowing eggs, enjoy games with friends and turn in eggs to redeem for snacks and prizes at the Kirkwood Park Glow Egg Hunt. 

Hop over to the Crestwood Community Center to meet the Easter Bunny. Use your own phone and take as many photos as you want. Participants must register for a time slot for this socially distanced event.

Eggs will be scattered across a field with hard and soft surfaces for this non-competitive, accessible egg hunt for children who have sensory, fine motor and gross motor special needs. The Adaptive Egg Hunt is for ages 2-10. Registration is not necessary. Free.

No need to register for this egg hunt at The Pointe in Ballwin. Kids will be separated into different areas based on age, and each egg hunt area will have eggs spread across the field, along with golden tickets for prizes! Age groups are 2-4, 5-7 and 8-10. Every participant will be guaranteed a bag of candy. Plus, the Easter Bunny will be visiting each age group to pose for pictures. Kids should bring their own baskets.
