‘Frida’s Flora and Fauna’ and ‘Cooking With Frida’

It’s time to say “Olé!” to all kinds of fun: The New York Botanical Garden is honoring the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) in its exhibition “Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life,” and it offers more than one program to introduce its youngest visitors to this famous Latina. In “Frida’s Flora and Fauna,” through Sept. 27 at the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, they can go on a plant scavenger hunt; make self-portraits, as Kahlo often did; play inside la Casita Azul, a model of her blue house; and put on shows at Frida’s Puppet Theater, with puppets representing her many pets. In “Cooking With Frida,” at the Ruth Rea Howell Family Garden through Nov. 1, children can explore the raw ingredients of Mexican cuisine and enjoy cooking demonstrations inspired by Kahlo’s entertaining.
