Memorial Day Weekend at the Children’s Museum of Manhattan

This museum is usually closed on Mondays, but it makes an exception for Memorial Day, when children are invited to join the national celebration. On both Sunday and Monday, they can honor the holiday in drop-in workshops to make poppies in the colors of the American flag. On Monday only, those 4 and younger will make art installations inspired by fireworks. On Sunday, the weekend will also offer a program for ages 5 and older (sign-up is required) in creating three-dimensional felt designs with the accessories designer Kate Cusack. There’s less sedentary fun, too: On Saturday, the Super Sprowtz, vegetable characters that try to dance their way into children’s hearts (and stomachs), will give performances about nutritious eating, and on Sunday, EXPG Boys, a hip-hop group from Japan, will demonstrate some sizzling moves. (Both events require tickets.)
