Mini Mondays
Our youngest visitors are VIPs on Mondays!
Mondays at the Children’s Museum are very special days. From September – April, join us on Mondays from 10:00AM – 2:00PM for a fun-filled day of stimulating play designed for our youngest visitors, children under 4 years old! We provide tailored crafts to help develop fine motor skills, activities that aid in dramatic play, and/or a special story time at 11:00AM and 1:00PM.
Please see our COVID-19 Guidelines for further details and important information prior to your next visit.
October Activities
Theme: Creature Creations
The month starts with kids creating Spooky Spiders and using gross motor skills to untangle themselves from a web. Next, they will be making Witch Faces and learning about colour-mixing with potions.

We end the month with a Friendly Monster craft and a parachute game that will be sure to get them moving!
