All Weekend

Bob the Builder – Project: Build It! (Jersey City, NJ)
Only a few more weekends left to check out this awesome exhibit at Liberty Science Center – a Mommy Poppins favorite! Children will join Bob the Builder and friends to make everything better in Sunflower Valley as they build, fix, plant and improve using team efforts. They’ll climb on large construction machines, plant flowers in Wendy’s garden and even run a “water pump.” Can We Build It? Yes, We Can!

Photo Scavenger Hunt (Morristown, NJ)
Looking for something to do outside during these last few winter weekends? Grab a camera or phone and stop by the Haggerty Education Center for a nature photo scavenger hunt. Families can pick up a list, head outside and shoot away. Take a picture of every item on the list, return to the Education Center and pick up your prize! March’s theme is Spring has Sprung.
