(Berkeley, Ca) July 28 - August 2, 2008—
Infants and toddlers ages 0-6 will have an adventure "under the sea" at Habitot Children's Museum's Underwater Week! Early explorers can catch slippery ocean creatures with nets in the Underwater World exhibit. Artists in the family will enjoy making aquatic treasures: building giant squid and octopus sculptures with colorful cloth, rubber pieces, and bubble wrap, or creating seaweed jewelry using string, beads, and funky fabrics. Young scientists will design underwater scuba masks with blue lenses, and help turn Habitot's Waterworks area into a Marine Science Lab.
