2022  SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMS

Created for K-6 students.  Free

Weekly programs at the Museum  Monday and Wednesday 2:30-3:30 PM   A different program each week, but the same program is given on each Mon and Wed of the same week. 

June 6 & 8   Games from Long Ago

Before TV, Legos or video games, children didn’t have many toys, so they invented games using their imaginations and a few simple objects.  Join us for lots of fun as we

“play” games and activities that were enjoyed long ago.

June 13 & 15   What’s Old?

Let’s discover what being older means, for both things and people.

How should we treat older things and people?  Through stories, conversation and activities we’ll think about what it means to be “older” in our world today.

June 20 & 22   Let’s Make Copies 

How did people make paper copies before the copy machines we use today in our homes, schools, and businesses? We’ll experiment with copying by hand, tracing, and using a hectograph.

June 27 & 29    Aesop’s Fables 

Fables are short little stories, often about animals, that teach us important life lessons.  Come listen and help tell the story.

July 6 (Wed only)    Our Grand Old Flag 

The flag of the United States has played a very important part in our American history. What is the history of the flag, its significance and meaning, and how can we respect and care for it? Military veterans will share what the flag means to them.  Help us create a flag art display.

July 11 & 13    Laura Ingalls Wilder’s World 

We’ll explore the facts, thoughts, and things of Laura’s life that became the stories she shared in her 9 Little House books. Tastes of homemade butter and Laura’s famous gingerbread and trying some of Laura’s homespun crafts will also be part of our time together in Laura’s World.

July 18 & 20   What’s Great About Watertown? 

Who are the people, places and things that have made and continue to make Watertown a great place to live? Help us create a mural featuring the “greats” of Watertown.

July 25 & 27   Fingerprints

Do you know what’s something you always have with you and that you always leave behind? Join us in exploring fingerprints through science and art.

Aug 1 & 3   Things to do without Electronics: 

Join us for FC (Fun and Challenging) games and activities that don’t require cords or batteries.

Aug 8 &10   Scopes  

Come engage in a variety of  “scope” activities with the stereoscope, gyroscope, “magic bee” scope, kaleidoscope and microscope.

We thank you for supporting

these programs.
