NOVEMBER 1 -30
These activities will be available all month, free to members and free with museum admission.
SHARE A PICTURE BOOK ABOUT LOSS: Use picture books from Anne Arundel County Public Library to open discussion with your children about death and bereavement.
MAKE A MEMORY BOX: Honor the loss of a family member, friend, or beloved pet by making a memory box dedicated to them.
MAKE A "CALM DOWN JAR" aka glitter jar: When your feelings are all mixed up, you can shake the jar, and as the glitter settles to the bottom, let your emotions settle themselves, too.
THE LETTING GO TREE: Ongoing community art project about letting go - of grief, of anger, of remorse... with our individual "leaves" to hang on a tree in the park.
Crystal Lynch will lead a conversation about what it means to "let go" on Wednesday, November 18, 4-5 pm. There is no charge for this.
REGISTER HERE.
The activities are supported by a grant from New York Life Foundation through Association of Children’s Museums.
Grief is not only real in childhood, but healing is possible—especially when it is supported in a children's museum where children feel safe, known, and free to play.
