Toddler Tuesday - Fun in the Sun at Connecticut Science Center
JUNE THEME: FUN IN THE SUN!
Fun in the Sun is a day full of sunshine, creativity, and hands-on excitement for toddlers. They’ll start by crafting colorful UV bead bracelets in Make and Take Beads, then create sun-powered art with Solar Prints. Next, they’ll chase and pop bubbles in the plaza before diving into the Sensory Bin, building sandcastles with kinetic sand and shaving cream. The fun continues with Bear’s Shadow, where they’ll play with light and shadows, and wraps up with a fascinating science adventure exploring the magic of magnets. It’s a day of discovery, laughter, and sunshine-filled fun.
