Artsy Tots!: Popsicle Stick Hamburgers

Little hands will build big creativity at this month's Artsy Tots session, where toddlers craft their own colorful popsicle stick hamburgers. This program at the Huntsville Museum of Art is specially designed for 2- and 3-year-olds to explore art through playful, age-appropriate activities. Each 45-minute session combines a short story, hands-on gallery exploration, and a guided craft that helps develop color recognition, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination. Sessions take place Friday, July 17, at either 10 or 11 am in the museum's Stender Family Interactive Education Galleries at 300 Church Street SW. Registration covers one child and one parent for $10 (or $8 for museum members), with additional siblings joining for $4 each. While fees are non-refundable, your registration can be transferred to another Artsy Tots date if plans change. The relaxed gallery setting gives toddlers room to wiggle and explore while learning, making this an ideal first museum experience. Parents actively participate alongside their children, so you'll be right there to help glue bun layers and stack those felt veggies. It's a gentle introduction to art that feels more like creative play than structured learning—perfect for curious toddlers still mastering the art of sitting still.
