Seeing Stones
Look through an otherworldly stone to see what others don’t. Build your own protective amulet out of clay, inspired by the book and movie Coraline, by Neil Gaiman.

Galaxy in a Jar
Explore the wonders that make up our galaxy by creating your very own — in a bottle! Hold a nebula in your hands with this activity inspired by the Guardians of the Galaxy collection created by Arnold Drake and artist Gene Colan.

Magical Maps
Going on an epic journey? You’ll need a map. Maps are useful tools that help us navigate our own world…and those we’ve imagined. Make your own map of a magical land in this activity inspired by The Girl of Ink & Stars by Kiran Millwood Hargrave.

Wizarding Wands
Create your own magical wand, a vital tool for casting spells. Inspired by the supernatural antics in The Worst Witch books by Jill Murphy.

I Spy Scavenger Hunt through Magicicada
Take a closer look at the elements of Magicicada with a short scavenger hunt designed to make you do a double-take.
