March events planned at Children’s Museum of the Sierra

Oakhust, CA. – The popular Children’s Museum of the Sierra in Oakhurst has a busy calendar filled with events this March.

Kicking things off is a new program that will take place monthly starting March 2. The monthly Home School Meetup will give the homeschooled children in the region a chance to meet and make new friends and learn in a positive, fun and stimulating environment.  The Homeschool Meetups will take place the first Friday of every month. 

Every Thursday, the Children’s Museum will be hosting a craft time geared toward toddlers and preschoolers called Messy Hands. The open ended activities will vary from week to week and will be geared towards allowing children time to develop their own projects at their own pace.  Messy Hands also provides a great opportunity to connect with other children, parents and grandparents. 

Art Explorers is another new program, taking place March 12 and 26. Kids aged 6-12 will provide an opportunity to learn about different artists, different mediums of art and provide a chance to do make their own masterpieces in those styles in the museum’s “Castle Room”. Art Explorers will take place the second and fourth Mondays each month. 

On March 17, the museum will highlight how emergency responders work in the field with The Science Behind Emergency Rescues: Levers and Pulleys. Kids will be able to join Firefighter Tuggle for a hands-on opportunity to learn the science of levers and pulleys used by emergency responders.  

On Saturday, March 24, the museum will host Sing-a-long Saturday from 3 to 3:30 pm. Music by Tim Johnson and Jimmy Collier will focus on sing-a-long music  from the rural backwoods, the western plains, the mountains and cities.  

Each of the activities costs only the general admission of $4 per person, or are free with membership. The Children's Museum of the Sierra is open year round and offers young people the opportunity to explore, imagine, create, make choices and learn by doing.
