Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler at The Woodlands Children’s Museum

THE WOODLANDS, TX – The Woodlands Children’s Museum, located at 4775 W. Panther Creek Drive, Suite 280 in The Woodlands, will be the place to be – for beads, masks, parades, music and, of course, king cake.

Guests are invited to show up in purple, gold and green on Tuesday, March 4. The fun begins at 11 a.m. and lasts until 2 p.m.

Two festive art projects take center stage at the Muse – inviting children to make their own masks or wooden bead necklaces.

Guests may then join in the children’s indoor mini-parade – showing off their handmade masks and beads – starting at 11:45 a.m. There will also be plenty of King Cake on hand for hungry visitors.

The cost to attend the event is included in the price of admission, which is $5 per person, and participants are invited to stay and play after the celebration.

Mardi Gras is a great opportunity to engage children in creative play – and discover the history of some playful traditions, Angela Colton, the museum’s executive director, said. It’s also the perfect time to teach children about Carnival celebrations around the world.

The Woodlands Children’s Museum has a calendar full of fun activities planned, as well as a number of workshops for children ages 4 through 8. For more information about the upcoming events, contact Stefanie Pelkey, events coordinator, at spelkey@woodlandschildrensmuseum.org.
