Reoccurring Activities
Starting February 29, school-aged children and younger can pick up a “take and make” project at the Front Desk when they visit on Saturday or Sunday. These free projects are presented in a bag and require only a few standard supplies to complete. Weekend hours are 1 to 5 p.m., and please take only one project bag per child per visit.
For children as young as two-years-old, the Muscatine Art Center offers a variety of classes to help build skills and make memories. Children’s classes are free this spring thanks to a grant from Muscatine Charities.
The family-favorite, Mini Masters (ages 2 to 7), will continue to be held Wednesdays 9:30-10:15 a.m. and Thursdays 3:30-4:15 p.m. Each class features story time and two art projects. The theme for March is “Dr. Seuss”. Children will learn about the beloved author and share in his delightful stories. In April, little cowpokes will travel to the Wild West for a rootin’, tootin’ good time. The theme for May is “Animals at Night” when children will be able to explore the world at night and “meet” animals that only come out after we have gone to bed. No registration is required for individuals, but groups of four or more should call one week in advance. There will be no Mini Masters class on March 18 or March 19.
Kid’s Saturday Workshop (ages 7 to 14) will celebrate a famous birthday and two holidays this spring. On March 7, Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, is the subject. Students will make a “Seussical”-style animal to mount on their wall. On April 4, participants will make and decorate sugar eggs just in time for Easter. On May 2, Cinco de Mayo is the topic, and the group will commemorate Mexico’s victory at the Battle of Puebla by making Ojo de Dios weavings. Taught by Julie Lear, Kid’s Saturday Workshops are held once per month from 1:30-2:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required by the Friday before class.
