“The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances forward to

new stages of mastery.” – Erik H. Erikson

In the words of renowned child psychologist Jean Piaget, "Play is the work of childhood." At Miami Children's Museum we know the power of play and in this series of our Quarterly Conversations we're going to explore the kind of play most parents and caregivers dread. Messy Play! We'll be hosting play and occupational therapists to discuss how messy play contributes to social, cognitive, and creative development, as well as providing important opportunities to engage fully with children.  Join us on September 28th, 2022 @ 1pm via zoom.

Join us all month long as we experiment with a variety of STEM activities! Construct creepy characters to fly through our wind tunnel, enjoy spooky sensory experiences in our Mad Scientist Lab, and experiment with candy science. Stop by our Art Studio to engage your senses in a fall-scented paint project, and on the weekends, enjoy special original performances by our Theater Troupe. Visit Museum at Home or our social media channels (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter) to enjoy video storytelling featuring some our favorite authors and cooking demonstrations with simple and delicious recipes.

On the second Saturday of every month, Miami Children’s Museum offers a sensory friendly experience for children with disabilities and their families. This month we’re getting spooky in our Snoezelen-Sensory room. Occupational Therapists will be there to guide your little ones through sensory exploration and regulation. Explore the Museum in a sensory modified supportive setting with limited admission and sound and lighting adjustments. Our goal is to provide your child with the opportunity to engage in social interactions, improve their sensory processing and to optimize their understanding of and participation in natural environments.
