Maine kids share their hopes — big and small — for the new year

Portland Press Herald

PORTLAND, Maine — Shea Jutkiewicz has made his resolution for 2025.

“To visit as many arcades as possible,” he said.

The 7-year-old smiled as he spoke, showing off his missing two front teeth Tuesday morning while enjoying a craft table on the second floor of the Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine.

The museum hosted a series of New Year’s celebrations throughout the day Tuesday, including ocean-themed slime-making and a countdown featuring a large sea star drop. The museum’s lobby was packed by 10:30 a.m., with kids laughing and tripping through the halls, quickly moving from one activity to another. Free ice cream sandwiches were available.
