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, create a wreath using materials collected on a nature walk, and make a lantern to light the long nights.
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.”
