Join us for a celebration of hands-on exploration designed for children five and younger! These special playtimes are the perfect opportunity to focus on your little one’s development through play. Each week in September, we’ll feature a different play schema—key behaviors that help kids make sense of the world—and pair it with activities in the party room and an exhibit that brings it to life.

This week, join binSpire for a hands-on sensory play experience where curiosity, creativity, and a little bit of mess come together! Kids can explore fizzy potions, shaving cream, oobleck, and other open-ended sensory activities at their own pace. This is a relaxed, come-and-go event for toddlers and their caregivers, so come ready to play, discover, and get a little messy!

Caregivers can explore the science of play with insights from our museum educators, enjoy guided sensory activities, and discover simple ways to extend the fun at home. Toddler Takeover is sponsored by Stride Autism Centers.
