Build-A-Brooklyn-Bug
When the Brooklyn Children's Museum comes to Brooklyn Public Library, kids learn about the various roles insects play in nature, and find out why even little bugs can be a big deal. Participants create critters using recycled egg cartons, pipe cleaners and googly eyes. Live crawlers will be joining Brooklyn Children’s Museum staff. Feel free to donate empty recycled egg cartons. Ages 5 and under. Free!
