ACM Worldwide Day of Play at Bronx Children's Museum was a hit! Last week, we celebrated Association of Children's Museums #WorldwideDayofPlay (officially 9/28) by launching a new monthly “Maker Space” featuring Rigamajig, a large-scale collaborative building kit designed for young creators. This hands-on experience allowed kids to explore their imaginations through open-ended play, fostering creativity, innovation, and problem-solving skills. Safe to say the adults had as much fun as the children!! Don't miss the next #BxCM Rigamajig Maker Space, happening monthly! Be on the look out for announcements of upcoming dates! #worldwidedayofplay #bronx #bxcm #XmarkstheBronx #bronxkids

Our kids deserve the best! Let's give them that access and support we know they need.
Just 5 days left! #SensorySaturdays (every first Saturday of the month, morning session) have proven to be popular with our guests, especially those with different needs. We want to make sure every child's visit at the Museum is a memorable and inclusive experience. We loan out visitors sensory bags that are filled with different tools and materials to help manage sensory sensitivities upon request. Our neurodivergent friends have been grateful! But guess what? In 2025, we're aiming even higher! Our focus will be expanding our sensory offerings and activities including, upgrading the content of our sensory bags with the latest tools and equipment for experiencing our environment in a comfortable way. With only 5 days left in our fundraising campaign, we believe we can reach our goal with your generous support. A contribution of only $250 allows us to provide a fully equipped sensory bag for our guests who are a little more neurodivergent to use during their visit to feel more at home here. Many hands make light work and every bit helps! https://lnkd.in/e_GtB73Y

Just 7 days left! Can we make a difference together? 2024 was all about building and developing access at BxCM, and we’ve achieved some incredible milestones! From launching the Bronx’s first children’s bookstore (#BookBodega) to giving away nearly 5,000 books to Museum visitors in just four months, we’re making strides in providing access to books and education. We began expanding access by kicking off our inaugural internship program this summer with 9 talented young individuals, creating pathways to opportunity right here in our Bronx community. And there was so much more! But guess what? In 2025, we're aiming even higher! Our focus will be on Expanding Access: to our field trips and after-school programs, to the latest technological innovations that fuel creativity and imagination and expanding access for all Bronx children to top-notch educational opportunities and experiences without the need to travel to another borough. With only 7 days left in our fundraising campaign, we believe we can reach our goal with your generous support. A contribution of only $100 equips a partner classroom with essential art and STEM supplies, while $500 covers a class field trip to BxCM. Let's further expand access to educational and tech opportunities for Bronx children together. Many hands make light work!
