Habitot's traveling "mini museum" of mobile exhibits plus art, STEM, and maker activities are going on the road! Our exhibits and activities are best for kids 0-5, and siblings and adults are encouraged to play, too!

This event will be held at Arroyo Viejo Recreation Center in East Oakland.

Habitot Children’s Museum is a non-profit organization serving a wide range of families! This event will be Free to the public, guaranteeing access for families across socioeconomic backgrounds.

Launch your handmade rocket 15ft into the sky with a hand-cranked air pressure contraption.

Design, build, and decorate a rocket from recycled materials. Test how it high it launches in the new rocket launcher. Decide if your make-and-keep needs anything added to it or taken away. A fun design activity!

Playing with water is a learning opportunity! Explore boats, funnels, buckets, and streams to learn about the properties of water, and just have fun!

Design, build, and decorate a boat from recycled materials. Test how it floats and sails in the water table. Decide if your make-and-keep boat needs anything added to it or taken away. A fun design activity!

Create art using a wide range of materials that encourage "process" and not "product" learning. Experiment with tools and materials without worrying about the mess! Little fingers can touch and engage in sensory learning. Babies and toddlers, parents and kids are welcome to explore and create!

Imagine an entire mural created by children on our giant paintable wall. Nontoxic washable paint.

Design your very own ball run with endless combinations of tubes, gutters, and more on our giant magnetic wall!

Build a fort, ball ramps, or anything you can imagine with Imagination Playground’s big foam blocks. This is a great activity for making new friends as you build together.

Just for the littlest ones — a waterless pool filled with multi-colored plastic balls. Lots of giggles.
