Online Events and Virtual Activities for Kids
We pride ourselves on having the most virtual events and online activities for children and families - if you know of a wonderful activity we should have on our calendar, please contact us and let us know!
FREE! Learn about penguins or sharks or jellies! Kids can explore the aquarium virtually and learn at home! Great online learning resource for homeschooling, teachers and parents! To find more great educational events for kids visit www.funthingstodoforkids.com
A free event, perfect for Pre-K through 12th Grade Educators! Registration required. The famed fossil deposits at La Brea aren’t the only place to find amazing Ice Age fossils – they’re all around us! But they’re underground, buried, and hidden from view – until deep excavation exposes these priceless remains to light once again. Join us as Eric Scott of Cogstone Resource Management shares some of the newest fossil discoveries from L.A. Metro’s Purple Line Extension construction. We will discuss the mammoth in the metro, dodging bulldozers, and the classroom-to-career connections in paleontology happening in our own backyards!

Join us for Early Explorers (virtually!) at SMO! Ideal for scientists 6 years old and younger, Early Explorers features hands-on activities that teach kids about basic scientific concepts and that can be easily replicated for a #SMOatHome experience. Guided by SMO’s museum educators, Early Explorers is perfect for young scientists with short attention spans.
With so much of Social Distancing in place, my normal venue for StoryTime!, Cups & Cones for the past 12+ years is no longer an option to sing songs and tell stories to kids—now, TO KIDS OF ALL AGES! I have been contemplating going online IN ADDITION to my regular StoryTime! for a long time; now fate in the form of the coronavirus has stepped in and forced my hand…. For starters, there will be StoryTime! 4 days a week (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) instead of 2, at the regular time 10:30 to 11:30. maybe a little earlier for adults, and the time may change depending on at-home Schooling. My plan is to open up StoryTime! for EVERYONE who wants to tune in. Gradually I will incorporate some of the new ideas I have been working on… Payments or gratuities for StoryTime! can be made through my Venmo account (I’m still buying books…), and there is a lovely post on Steiner Moms and Tots. MY ULTIMATE GOAL: To write stories and songs. Who knows? This may be the catalyst… I’m starting soon; Enjoy.
