Her Story
Combining a look at women of Haverhill’s past with a discussion of girls’ lives today, this workshop lets Brownies share their dreams. We’ll prepare a “Celebrate Women” tea party and write our own “Her stories”. The girls will prepare a short project before coming to the museum.

Colors and Shapes
Using historic crafts and architecture, we’ll look at the shapes and colors all around us. Crafts include stenciling, stamping, and weaving yarn. Snack time will be filled with shapes and colors too!

Building Art
Haverhill has a rich architectural heritage, spanning several centuries. We’ll tour the buildings of the Haverhill Historical Society, practice some decorating techniques, and create a colorful map of our ideal neighborhood. And for a snack, we’ll enjoy our own gingerbread houses!

Puppets, Dolls and Plays
Playthings of the past tell us a lot about the lives of children in historic Haverhill. We’ll spend time looking at dolls in the museum’s collection, make simple puppets, and enjoy some doll-shaped treats. By the end of the workshop, we’ll be ready to perform a short puppet show.
