The Insectarium offers crafts for children to reinforce what they learned during their trip. Crafts can be taken home and assembled back at school or camp, or you can arrange to do a craft activity here at our museum with the staff (please call ahead to make special arrangements).
The following crafts are offered by the Insectarium. Please note, the crafts are shown in "finished" form; butterfly mounting must be done here at the museum and will require additional time.
