While we may be hunkering down with our families these days, we can still enjoy all the wonderful activities that Dallas has to offer. Our virtual events calendar is loaded with things to do with kids at home, and we even have some virtual activities just for DFW kids below. Get ready to have some at-home fun!
Amaze Your Brain at Home with the Perot Museum
Have no fear, the Museum is still here! Amaze Your Brain at Home and watch your favorite concepts from the Museum come to life. The museum staff will share fun ways to explore nature and science at home and in your backyard—all while using the most common household objects and supplies.
From virtual visits and chats with staff, to showing what the animals are up to and posting activity ideas from education and conservation teams, the Dallas Zoo wants to use this time to continue to engage, educate, inspire and ultimately bring a smile to your face.
Stay updated with images from the Dallas Arboretum, and enjoy the Video, "Experience The Beauty of the Dallas Arboretum in Full Summer Bloom". Browse their website for striking weekly updates of these incredible gardens, you won't be disappointed as you stroll through their gallery of weekly updates in anticipation of the garden opening again soon for the delight of all ages.
SPARK! is creating cool do-at-home projects for you and your child to create during this time. New videos with step-by-step instructions are uploaded frequently to their YouTube channel and shared on Facebook page.
Take a break from at-home school studies to have some music fun, as we explore rhythm, storytelling, dance, and listening games. Buddy Bray—Cliburn artistic advisor and co-author of the Cliburn in the Classroom signature in-school program—will lead kids on short (7- to 10-minute), entertaining, and educational journeys, twice a week. Past programs are available now at Cliburn.org/kids.
