Children will have fun in workshops celebrating the winter solstice at the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum. Learn about solstice traditions and how people adapt to fewer hours of sunlight. We’ll explore the collections, see a planetarium show, decorate a repurposed plastic bottle for forcing bulbs, and make a working sundial.
Beth Laxer-Limmer, associate director of education, said, “Winter is a magical time. The Vanderbilt’s workshops celebrate the beauty and activity in nature as winter begins.”
