The Magic House and Magic House MADE for Kids will be blooming with eco-friendly activities in preparation for Earth Day!
At The Magic House in Kirkwood kids can get up close and personal with a new recycling truck, make recycled paper, learn how to compost, and plant seeds in a planter to take home to nurture and watch it grow. Plus, visitors will find hands-on Earth Day activities in the Bayer Sunshine Classroom and Make-It Workshop.
At the Earth Day Celebration at MADE for Kids, visitors can put their green thumbs to work as they plant seeds in planter pods and take them home to watch them grow. Plus, they'll learn to use recycled materials to create fun Earth Day art in the maker space.
The Earth Day Celebration at The Magic House in Kirkwood and at MADE for Kids (5127 Delmar Blvd.) are free with museum admission and will be held Saturday, April 22 during regular museum hours.
