Halloween is creeping closer, and the Museum of Lennox & Addington has a couple of frightfully fun activities planned for families! From spider-making and spooky crafts to ghost stories and a museum-wide trick-or-treat adventure, there’s plenty of options for little ghouls and their grown-ups to have fun at the Museum.
First up is a P.A. Day Spooky Spider Decorations program on Monday, October 26, with two opportunities to get creative. During the morning session from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., children and families can build their own eight-legged creations using googly eyes, pipe cleaner legs, and plenty of personality. Whether your spider is silly, spooky, or somewhere in between, it’ll be ready to hang up at home just in time for Halloween.
Families looking for a quieter experience can join the Museum’s Museum Inclusive drop-in from 1 to 4 p.m. Visitors can enjoy the same spooky spider craft as the morning session, but at their own pace in a more flexible, less structured environment. With a quiet area available, families can take their time creating and exploring the Museum in whatever way works best for them.
The spooky fun continues on Thursday, October 29, with Little Discoveries: Halloween Adventure! Starting at 10 a.m., preschoolers and their families will gather for a Halloween-themed story about a little ghost learning to face their fear of the dark. Then, little artists can paint a ghost of their own before heading out on a special Museum trick-or-treat adventure, visiting Museum staff along the way to collect sweet surprises.
Costumes are welcome for Little Discoveries but not required. Whether your little one is a budding artist, an enthusiastic trick-or-treater, or simply curious about Halloween, this morning promises stories, creativity, and a little bit of spooky magic.
Both programs are free, and no pre-registration is required. Families are invited to join the fun at the Museum of Lennox & Addington, located at 97 Thomas Street East in Napanee.
