Screen-Free Sundays is the first Sunday of the month April through August 2026. This family program is an opportunity for children ages 6-12 and their families to explore the Victorian era through hands-on crafts and activities. Each month, dive into a different theme and enjoy a modern take on old-fashioned and analog activities.No children without an adult, no adults without a child. Children must be supervised at all times. Recommended for children ages 6-12.

April 5
Learn about how the Victorians used to dye their Easter eggs using ingredients from their kitchens. In this activity you will get a history lesson all about dying Easter eggs, get to visit the kitchen in the historic house, and get to dye your very own Easter egg to take home.
May 3
In May, we will learn about floriography, the language of flowers, by decoding bouquets placed throughout the historic house, and then we will make our own flowers out of recycled materials.
June 7
In June, you will get to go on a bug hunt in the gardens at Dalnavert. After a refreshing glass of lemonade, we will move into the Visitors' Centre and make a craft inspired by the insect displays of the Victorian era. (Please note that this craft will not include the use of real bugs!!)
