Habitot's hands-on exhibits, art, and maker activities for young children and families celebrate play!
About this Event

Celebrate Grandparents Day with Habitot! Our traveling "mini museum" of mobile exhibits plus art, STEM, and maker activities is going on the road! Our exhibits and activities are best for kids 0-5, and siblings and adults are encouraged to play, too! This special event highlights Grandparents Day with unique activities designed for multi-generational fun. Plus, there will be a free take-home bag of LEGOS for grandparents accompanying grandchildren (while supplies last)!

Habitot Children’s Museum is a non-profit organization serving a wide range of families! This event is FREE and funded by First 5 Alameda County with support from the Prescott Market Hall; which offers many food and beverage vendors and is AC Transit accessible with easy freeway access.

Each ticket is a SINGLE FAMILY GROUP ticket and will admit any combination of children and adults in the same household. Please register for just ONE time slot (1 hour and 15 minutes) to allow as many families as possible to attend our event.

Because Habitot is a nonprofit organization, we appreciate donations for ongoing and operating costs beyond funded events. Thank you!



What to Expect!
Fun, interactive activity stations for small hands and bodies!
Rocket Launcher

Build your own rocket at our maker table and launch it 30ft into the sky with a hand-cranked air pressure contraption.




WaterWorks

Playing with water is a learning opportunity! Explore boats, funnels, buckets, and streams to learn about the properties of water, and just have fun!



Art, STEM, and Making Stations

Create art using a wide range of materials that encourage "process" and not "product" learning. Experiment with tools and materials without worrying about the mess! Little fingers can touch and engage in sensory learning. Babies and toddlers, parents and kids are welcome to explore and create!


Paintable Wall

Imagine an entire mural created by children on our giant paintable wall. Nontoxic washable paint.



Ball Run

Design your very own ball run with endless combinations of tubes, gutters, and more on our giant magnetic wall!



Imagination Playground Blocks

Build a fort, ball ramps, or anything you can imagine with Imagination Playground’s big foam blocks. This is a great activity for making new friends as you build together.




Boat Making & Tinkering

Design, build, and decorate a boat from recycled materials. Test how it floats and sails in the water table. Decide if it needs anything added to it or taken away. A fun design activity!



Baby Ball Pit

Just for the littlest ones — a wading pool filled with multi-colored plastic balls. Lots of giggles


Habitot staff may take photos, videos, or audio recordings at our events. Please tell us if you do not wish to be photographed, video-recorded, or audio-recorded. We will always respect your requests!
