The Whaling Museum and Education Center of Cold Spring Harbor is hosting a Playpod Party on Saturday, March 7.  The event will take place at 10 a.m.  The Museum is located at 301 Main Street in Cold Spring Harbor.Ages 1 ½ – 3 ½. Siblings welcome. Free with paid admission ($5/child, $6/adult).  Family Level members free.

The new PLAYPOD series is an educational program the Museum is offering for toddlers and caregivers.  The party will feature finger painting, play dough, shapes and colors, rhythm and movement, songs, free play, sensory play and open-ended crafts.

PlayPod will be offered every Monday beginning March 9 at 9:30 a.m.  Each series is led by a certified teacher.  The first class is free. After that, each class is $10 or $49 for 10 classes.  You can register online or in person.

“PlayPod was created using the philosophy that open play and inquiry-based exploration are key factors in early child development,” said Executive Director Nomi Dayan.  “What is particularly special about this program is that our educators facilitate building a love of the ocean and respect for nature at very young age, and this sets the stage for boosting confidence, strengthening curiosity, and feeling connected to our environment — all while having fun.”
