EverWonder Children’s Museum, at 31 Pecks Lane, has announced its calendar for November.

This month, the Yellow Art Lab will be filled with turkeys… paper ones, that is. Museum visitors will be invited to create their own personalized Thankful Turkey craft. In the Blue Science Lab, visitors will crate their own picture charts to explore the life cycle of a pumpkin.

Story Lab for Young Explorers will continue to meet each Tuesday and Thursday, from 10:30 to 11 am. This is a 30-minute program of STEM-themed stories, activities, and crafts. Parents must stay with their children during the program, which is included with museum admission.
