KIDS TO MAKE A MOONSCAPE FROM MOON SAND AT CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF MANHATTAN ON JULY 18

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, kids will create a moonscape made from moon sand at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan (212 West 83rd Street) on Thursday, July 18 from 10:30 am – 12 pm. The kids will make a moonscape with inspiration from the museum’s Art, Artists & You artist-in-residence Patte Loper’s stop motion animated video.

The children will also test mini-rovers of their own design on this new terrain and learn about how the historic 1969 moon landing has impacted continued space exploration.

Kids, parents and museum officials will be available for interview.
