Our dynamic small group Fall and Winter Workshops offer age appropriate activities that are especially designed to foster creativity, promote self-expression and develop a young child’s imagination.
Curriculum is designed to support the cognitive development of early learners through hands-on engagement. Critical thinking skills are nurtured through cause and effect interactive discovery learning techniques using the arts, dramatic play, squishing, sorting, mixing, swirling, collecting and building.
Our workshops are presented by experienced educators with a talent for piquing children’s natural curiosity. Young learners may participate in social development class and for Home School families, our workshops are a perfect supplement to the academic school year.
Recognizing that 4 year-olds need social interaction and cognitive development, our program is offered 2 or 3 days a week with a class size of only 10 students, allowing our educators to have an abundance of time to engage with students.
Wonderseum is intended as a magical introduction to lifelong learning in a tactile environment of discovery, where children experience interactive storytelling through dramatic play, meet performers and guest artists sharing enriching experiences, hands-on science discoveries and art and its many processes.
Wonderseum for 4 year-olds
Two and Three day programs
*Students must be potty trained and be 4 years old by the start of the semester. Wonderseum is not designed for drop-in attendance.
Guided explorations, encouraging a discovery of culture through the arts, expanding language, early literacy, science, math and circle drumming, are all determined and planned to create global awareness, reading readiness and comprehension, and number recognition and association, while refining children’s fine motor skills.
With a Reggio Emilia inspired environment located inside the museum, children are presented with projects that enhance their fine motor skills and self-expression, while preparing them with kindergarten readiness skills.
Children experience the joy of music through singing, dancing and moving expressively to a variety of music genres, discovering different cultures through their music, and exploring rhythm and rhyme–all of which promote the development of essential skills, including listening, vocabulary- building, social-emotional, and motor.
Please send a packed lunch AND snack with your child since the children will be eating lunch to introduce them to the new schedule they will experience upon entering Kindergarten. The Woodlands Children’s Museum has provided great effort in creating this program to be convenient and affordable.

Little Picassos for 2 & 3 year-olds meets WEDNESDAYS
2 year-olds, 9:30am-10:00am
3 year-olds, 10:30am-11:15am
Twos and threes explore art as a learning experience and are more interested in “doing” art than making finished products. During the “process”, twos and threes discover their own independence, as well as delighting in the joy of exploring and creating. Using a variety of mediums to create mini masterpieces and stimulate artistic imaginations, toddler and grown-up share the “process” of art as a stimulus to engage discovery and becoming familiar with various art mediums, such as painting, collage, fiber art and building with clay while squishing, mixing, tearing and swirling. Leave the “messy” with us, but painting clothes are recommended.

E.A.R.L.Y. Robotics Meets EV3 for 7-10 year-olds meets THURSDAYS
Combining the well-known E.A.R.L.Y. Robotics program, created by NASA, that introduces 7 to 10 year-old boys and girls to engineering, with the new and expanded LEGO® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 cross-curricular STEM curriculum, is certain to provide a hands-on solution that develops a strong understanding of the basic fundamentals of building and mechanical principles while engaging students by providing the resources to design, build and program their creations. The combination of E.A.R.L.Y. and EV3 can help develop creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and communication.
Students build robots and realistic motorized models from LEGO® kits in a team-building atmosphere. Teams select pilots to operate the robot motors using basic on/off switches and manipulate through given obstacles and challenges to help complete missions. The EV3 system is a compact and powerful programmable computer that makes it possible to control motors and collect sensor feedback using the intuitive icon-based programming and data logging software.
Programming is done by dragging and dropping icons into a line to form commands allowing students to build simple programs, and then easily and intuitively build on their skills until they are developing complex algorithms.
Students with previous Robotiks experience will have the opportunity to be challenged with curriculum designed to take strategies to the next level. Minimum of 6 students for class to make as scheduled. Early (no pun intended) registration is suggested. E.A.R.L.Y. Robotics meets EV3 is designed as a semester long workshop.
