C’mon Family Fun introduced at Bell Towe

The Children’s Museum of Naples’ education series, Family Fun, is expanding into Lee County at Bell Tower Shops. Children, ages 4 through 8, will have the opportunity to explore the world through hands-on activities at the Fort Myers shopping center.

Held the third Saturday of each month, starting Feb. 20 through July 17, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Family Fun programs are free, fun and open to the public. Each activity takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes and snacks and juice are provided. A parent or adult must stay and participate in the Family Fun activities.

During the Feb. 20 “Produce Market” inaugural program, children will learn about what it takes to plan a healthy meal, then make their own unique trail mix. On March 20, the “Beautifully Outdoors” program will study the difference between native and nonnative plants, and plant a seed to take home. Future programs will include:

Journey through the Everglades (April 17). Explore the unique plants and animals that call the Everglades home, then make a nature journal.

Masks Around the World (May 15). Match masks from around the world to their country, guess what each mask was used for, and then make your own mask.

Mother Nature’s House (June 19). Explore how wind can be studied and used, then make a pinwheel to continue your study of wind.

Space Kidettes (July 17). Explore the outer reaches of the universe and study the effects of gravity, then make a rocket that can really blast off.
