Event Description

HOORAY, KIDS! ¡Que vivan los niños!

Children's Museum of Houston and Mexican Consulate celebrate children and bilingual literacy during el Día del niño (Day of the Child)Sunday, April 27

Puppet drama, getting it mixed up. Go fish! These aren’t life’s little lessons, but some of the exciting activities kids will participate in during the Day of the Child Celebration at the Children’s Museum of Houston. In conjunction with the Consulate General of Mexico, the Museum will hold several engaging, hands-on activities in which children will have the opportunity to learn about the arts and enjoy a small taste of Mexico!

The event also focuses on enriching kids’ lives with the value of reading. The Museum’s Para los niños program is especially designed to help Spanish-speaking parents get involved in their children’s education; it offers the educational resources they need, free of charge. Reading encourages children to travel to far away places with their imaginations. They’ll get a chance to take a trip to out-of-this-world locations with our story time activities.

Plus, don't miss piñata-making, character appearances, live Mariachi and a special performance by Teatro Kalipatos from Guanajuato, México!
