Preschool Playdate: Light it Up!

Looking for a new way to add some educational fun to your preschooler’s routine? Give your usual playdates a glow-up with Crystal Bridges!

Drop by the museum for a free, interactive activity day just for preschoolers, complete with creative activities inspired by our focus exhibition The Light Fantastic. Experience an afternoon of kid-friendly fun as we craft, explore, and play our way through the museum. From a kick-off performance by Hot Toast Music Co. in the Great Hall to exploring together in the galleries, we’ve got plenty of creative activities to light up your little artist’s afternoon.

And, with each activity designed by museum educators, you know they’ll be learning every step of the way.

Free, no tickets required.

Guest Performer: Hot Toast Music Co.

Hot Toast Music Co. is the product of dad, educator, and musician Symon Hajjar who writes irresistible kids’ music, all with purpose. Hajjar, or Mr. Symon as his students call him, draws inspiration from the way children often find magic in the mundane parts of life that are hidden in plain sight. For Hajjar, Hot Toast is not just “kids music” but an opportunity for wide-eyed innovators of all ages to join in the fun of self-discovery and creativity. Hajjar’s stellar songwriting skills bring an easiness to talking about difficult or serious topics with kids, as well as delighting in the pure joy children find in simply being silly. Songs are anchored with creative activities that combine the tactile with the message of each song, turning each song into an opportunity for discovery!

Per the CDC’s updated guidelines, we are now requiring all guests ages 2 and up and staff to wear a face covering indoors and while attending outdoor programs, except while eating or drinking. Masks will be available upon entry for those who do not have one. We will observe social distancing during this program.
