The Providence Children’s Museum has a variety of special programs and performances on their calendar for school vacation week, including: Matt the Magician, Wingmasters, and Mad Science.
Family Friday — Free at Five! — runs from 5pm to 8pm for free. “Stay out late and splash, play, explore and discover!” Or check out The Room of Necessity (I’ll assume parents know what that means. It sounds sinister.) and “create, build and play pretend in your own imagined world, inspired by astronomy, nature and wizard-y themes.” That will be running from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.
Earth Day Celebrations are planned for Friday through Monday, (April 19-22).
Celebrate the beauty of the earth and design weavings and mandalas of natural materials, using fibers, shells, stones, flowers and leaves. This extra special Earth Day weekend will feature stories and storytelling every hour, on the hour, from a list of favorite children’s books about nature collected by PCM’s staff and volunteers.
