⭐ Ages 4–8 · Siblings welcome
A free morning of stories, crafts & imagination,
made just for little kids, at a real Tucson fort!
Free all summer,
Story Craft is a free drop-in hour for our youngest history-lovers. Every visit, a story comes to life, then little ones dive into a hands-on craft or activity inspired by it. Stories, making, and play, all in one happy morning.
We start with a tale that pulls kids into another time and place, then let their imaginations run.
Hands-on making tied to the story: corn-husk dolls, building, drawing, discovering. Messy is encouraged!
Friendly, low-key, and made for ages 4–8. Come as you are, leave with something you made.
Magnifying glasses, real artifacts, and big questions. Little explorers love to look closer.
Themes change each session. Here's the kind of hands-on fun your little one can dive into.
Built for little kids, but siblings are always welcome to join the fun.
A one-hour morning session. Drop in any time. Come for all of it or part of it.
Two mornings a week, all summer long. Check the dates below and pick a day!
No tickets and no registration, sponsored by the Fort Lowell Museum. Just show up! A grown-up should stay with each child.
