Plus, visitors will find hands-on Earth Day activities in the Bayer Sunshine Classroom and Make-It Workshop.
At the Earth Day Celebration at MADE for Kids, visitors can put their green thumbs to work as they plant seeds in planter pods and take them home to watch them grow. Plus, they'll learn to use recycled materials to create fun Earth Day art in the maker space.
