Stepping Stones Museum for Children will help children and their families “Get Green!” by hosting an Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 19 with a variety of special activities and programs taking place inside and outside the museum throughout the day.

Earth Day Celebration activities include:

Brunswick School of Greenwich will be performing skits about honoring the earth and respecting each other.

Recycle for Art from 11 am – 12 pm and 3 – 4 pm
Turn trash into treasure with an art project that encourages reduce and reuse! Recycled items donated by Trader Joe's of Orange customers.

Spring Planting from 12 – 3 pm

Get your hands dirty and learn about gardening! Join Stepping Stones staff and volunteers for an outdoor planting. Supplies donated by Dragonfly Nursery in Lagrangville, NY.
Red’s Recycle-O-Rama at 1:30 pm

An exciting performance by Red’s one-man Recycle-O-Rama band with storytelling, magic, juggling and songs, all to the music of a one-man junk band!

In conjunction with its Earth Day celebration, the museum will also be giving away a SIGG aluminum water bottle to all families who purchase a Stepping Stones Family Plus membership. For limited time, while supplies last.

“Earth Day is a great way for families to enjoy outdoor play and connect children with nature. In doing so, families can appreciate everything we are doing to help protect the environment.”
