A Drop in Day with Birds and Bees July 30, 2009

On Thursday July 30, The Children's Museum in Easton will be welcoming in some of our nature friends at the Birds and Bees Drop in Day. Our friends, the Bristol County Beekeepers Association will be here for the day teaching us a little bit about bee life and beekeeping. At 10:30 NECN's Meteorologist Joe Joyce will be here to teach us all a little bit about the Highs and Lows of weather. Finally, at 1 pm Marla Isaac from New England Reptile and Raptor will be stopping in for a Birds of Prey Presentation on these fascinating creatures.


Shiver me timbers me hearties! The MOONSHIP presents "A PIRATE"S LIFE". On Friday July 31 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, join Captain Scully and First Mate Jenny McBoo as they journey to the land of the pirates through story and song. Young and old will be delighted to hear of their adventures including "High Piracy", telling the true story of life on the ship and "The McBoo Legend", telling the story of a long line of female pirates. This one-hour romp includes a demonstration of the accordion and guitar, a pirate-style jam/dance with rhythm instruments and scarves, and a pirate parade! Pirate dress strongly encouraged.

Drop in Days activities feature hands-on arts, crafts and science activities. Most are held in the Museum's outdoor space, weather permitting. This space also offers a perennial garden, play area, a stage and shady spots to eat lunch or snacks for those days when it's just too nice to stay inside the whole time. "Drop in Days" are free with admission and any age can participate. The activities run from 10:30 AM to 3 PM. No registration is required.

Summer hours at the Museum are Monday through Friday 9 am to 4 pm, and Saturday 12 to 4 pm. Admission is $6 per person, under one is free. We reserve the right to reschedule appearances and programs due to weather or unforeseen events.
