Most people today get their clothing pre-made from a store, but historically most clothing was made at home, and worn until it fell apart.

We will read the Caldecott Award winning book Joseph Had a Little Overcoat by Simms Taback, and preschoolers and their caregivers will have the opportunity to interact with historic garments from our collection and design their own clothing with a coloring activity.

Our free, bi-weekly Storytime program engages kids 18 months to 6 years old by focusing on play, Newton's history, literacy, and lessons from our museums.

Each 30-45 minute program includes reading from a children's book, an activity, a museum takeaway, and access to the museum afterward.

Families are welcome to bring snacks for their kids.

Includes free entrance to the museums after the program.
