Puget Sound Party
We’re throwing a party for Puget Sound, and you’re invited! We’ll be celebrating the waters and wildlife of this remarkable body of water. Come on by to make a marine party hat and mask, or play some clean water party games!
Fun with Fabrics
Over 90 million tons of clothes and other fabrics are thrown away every year, but just because a shirt has a hole or doesn’t fit you anymore doesn’t mean it’s garbage. Join us to learn some simple mending techniques and things you can do with fabric scraps!
The World in Miniature
Explore the world under a microscope and make crafts starring the little critters in life. Design a custom creature and watch it shrink, then build a tiny terrarium for your new pet. It’s a small world after all!
Winter Wings
Washington’s winter wonderland may not always feature snow, but it is always brimming with birds! Join us and Puget Sound Estuarium staff as we paint miniature bird houses and enjoy activities that will familiarize you with local birds and their winter adaptations.
Up in the Clouds
From towering cumulus formations to misty marine layers, the Pacific Northwest has an incredible diversity of clouds. Deepen your appreciation for these often-overlooked parts of our skies as we create cloud viewers, capture clouds in bottles, and much more.

Building Bridges
Put on your thinking caps and your hard hats, because we’re building bridges – literally! We’ll provide all the blocks, paper, craft sticks, and even the spaghetti you’ll need to build the longest and strongest bridges you can.
