Did you know that plants can tell us stories about the places where they grow? Indigenous peoples across North America have shared deep knowledge of native plants, including thimbleberry, red huckleberry, wild rose. The Lenape people have also used plants such as milkweed and bloodroot for food, medicine, and making useful things. Explore these plants and others through their colors, textures, and shapes as you create your own botanical watercolor artwork.
Events & Activities
At the Children’s Museum of Manhattan, there’s always something new to explore! Designed for children ages 0–6, our hands-on programs encourage creativity, learning, and play through art, music, science, and storytelling, all rooted in research-backed methods that support early brain development. From ever-changing themed activities to PlayWorks, our dedicated space for our youngest visitors, every experience is designed to engage children at the right developmental stage. With a rotating schedule of interactive programs, there’s always a reason to visit and discover something exciting!
Public Programs are supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council. Programs are also made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Additional support is provided by the Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation.
