FUN FOR KIDS
Hands-on Activities for All Ages
~ Cancelled until further notice ~

Fun for Kids at Historic Northampton
Every Wednesday, 2:30 to 4:30 pm
at Historic Northampton, 46 Bridge Street, Northampton, MA

Kids and caregivers, stop by after school for play, scavenger hunts, puzzles, crafts and stories about Northampton history!

Every week, we'll bring out a big floor mat with a map of downtown Northampton.  Kids can make their own town by arranging peg people, vehicles, and buildings, or create their own.  We will read a story, make a craft
or play "I Spy." All activities are designed to help kids learn more about the past - specifically the history of Northampton!  For All Ages.
