Toddler activity at Strong Museum January 11

My Toddler and Me program at Strong Museum on Saturday, January 11, from 8 to 10 a.m. is designed especially for tiny tots ages 18 months to 3 years and their adult companions.

The morning's theme is "Baby, It's Cold Outside!" and includes indoor wintry activities designed especially for very young children. Participants will obtain a free activity sheet upon arrival and proceed at their own pace through Strong Museum's hands-on exhibits, open for exclusive use by toddlers.

Among the morning's highlights are building an indoor snowman; go on a snowflake hunt in the galleries; shiver and shake to music; create a snow fort from blocks; and make blizzard pictures.

Other My Toddler and Me early morning programs at Strong Museum throughout the year (all programs take place from 8 to 10 a.m.):
