Welcome to the Andyrooniverse!
Join AndyRoo on a musical journey to the Andyrooniverse — a magical place created by the ever-expanding landscape of children’s imaginations, where you’ll encounter Sy the Sloth, Podgy the Platypus, and a big balloon that will whisk you away to a whole universe of exciting, animated characters. Using storytelling, music making, and movement, this program teaches children about individuality, togetherness, and kindness through an active listening experience.
*Recommended for families with children age 3 to 8.
The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) is teaming up with Harris County Public Library for a week-long Summer Art Camp to introduce children to great art and children’s literature. Participants will have interactive discussions, develop visual literacy skills, discover art from around the world, and take part in creating their own work of art.
Join us for this very special process art program, where you'll use ripped up bits of old paper to make something new, just like SpongeBob!
You'll get your very own collage board to decorate and take home. No special art skills required.
*Recommended for children ages 5 to 11.
