Christopher Robin just moved to London from his house in the country, and misses his former home. Despite a new friend knocking on the door and asking him to play, Christopher Robin prefers to shut himself in and not play with anyone. His father A.A. Milne has another plan, and tells him the story of a bear named Winnie-the-Pooh living in the hundred acre woods. These stories of friendship and adventure inspire a change in perspective, an opportunity for play and a new friendship to bloom in the city.

Science for Tots: Circle Round

  • The Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Discover the Science for Tots series! This weekly program is specially designed for children ages 2-5 and their caregivers.

Circle-round for our month of shape-themed Science for Tots! During our three weeks of shape exploration, we will explore 2D and 3D shapes as we spray paint objects, play a shape scavenger hunt, and make a shape-filled cityscape.

During Science for Tots, we meet young children where they are by introducing them to STEM concepts like science, engineering, math, and the environment through rich sensory experiences. Sign up for one week or multiple weeks to meet new families and make new friends. Included with admission. Registration Required.

Note: Science for Tots requires the caregiver and child/children to attend the session together. Limited capacity to ensure materials and staff-to-participant ratio.
