Upcoming programs include:

Explore the many wonders and uses of circles in Strong’s Secrets of Circles exhibit. Performer Sarah Peters leads circle songs and dances. Join in the fun with hoop games, circle crafts, and a circle hunt throughout the museum.

Monday, May 21: All about Rainbows
Spring is a wonderful season to delight in rainbows and all of their beautiful colors. Enjoy rainbow stories, songs, games, and science demonstrations. Pretend you’re a colorful bird and fly away to your nest.

Monday, June 11: Everything Grows
Fun is in full bloom at Strong! Participate in special spring songs and performance activities with Sarah Peters. Create a silly blooming hat or a chart to show how much you’re growing. Plant a seed and then take it home and watch it grow.
