Story Stretchers

Come read a story with us and stretch the learning through a guided, hands-on activity! Each activity ties directly into that day's book and encourages a love of literacy by bringing the pages to life!

Art Class

Art classes at Hands-on House explore a variety of techniques and mediums all while encouraging budding artists to find their own style! Our creations are inspired by art history, seasonal shifts, and often tie back to our monthly Play Lab theme.

Designed for ages: 3-10

Group and School programs

 

Outreach

Let’s bring the museum to your school or organization! We offer a variety of K-3 programs designed to be presented to a single class rather than a whole group assembly (this allows for more hands-on and focused engagement).

We travel to Lancaster and surrounding counties. 

Scouting Badges

Our museum educators lead fun, interactive art workshops for Girl Scouts of the USA Daisies and Brownies, and Boy Scouts of America Webelos. We will complete the badge of your choosing during your visit. The only thing you need to do is have an art exhibit or show & tell at a meeting after your program, and purchase badges for your scouts.

Thank you to our generous sponsors!
