Preschool Adventure: Rain or shine

Preschool Adventure: Rain or Shine

March 8 | 9-11 a.m. | Atrium

Spring brings all kinds of weather, and young explorers can experience it firsthand through interactive, hands-on activities! Families will discover wind by testing objects in a wind tunnel, create their own windsock, and explore wet weather with rain gauge sensory play and raindrop painting. They’ll also experiment with sunlight by casting shadows and making rainbow sculptures.

Designed for children ages 5 and under (but open to all), this event encourages playful learning while building motor, cognitive, and social skills. Special guests from Channel 3 Weather will be on the Plaza to help families dive into the science behind the forecast!

Free with Museum admission.

Activities:

Make a Windsock – Create a paper windsock to blow in the wind!

Wind Tunnel Soaring - Try different materials in our wind tunnel to see which climb the highest!

Raindrop Painting - Paint with pipettes and cotton balls to make a rainy scene

Wet Weather Sensory Bin – Explore in our water and ice sensory bin – can you fill the rain gauge?

And more!
