Staten Island Children's Museum Announces December Events

Create lovely gifts for giving all month-long in our weekend Up4Art walk in family art workshops. Learn the ancient art of paper folding, origami, in a special workshop on the 1st. Every Friday's Kidz Cook features holiday finger foods-fun to make, pass around and eat! And of course, the month ends with our very special, annual FREE, New Year's Eve (Day) Party with Patrick! Kids will rock out and party with children's musician Patrick Rafferty from 1 – 3 p.m. on the 31st, and will hopefully sleep well for the sitter while mom and dad enjoy their New Year's Eve celebration.
