Field day runs from noon to 4 p.m. at Third House, weather permitting. Food will be available for purchase.

Abstraction in Amagansett

Science, art, and costume design will keep kids in kindergarten through sixth grade busy at the Amagansett Library this week. Representatives of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center will help kids abstractly express themselves during a drip-painting workshop on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. On Sunday and again Oct. 25 at 2 p.m., kids can work on elements of a Halloween costume. This week, they’ll be making tails, next week sashes and shields.

A Science in Motion program on Tuesday and Oct. 27 will have young inventors learning some physics basics at 4 p.m. This week, they’ll work on spinning wrestlers. On Oct. 27, it’ll be racing ramps.

More Library Programs

Children 6 to 10 can create their own mini terrariums during a program on Sunday at the John Jermain Memorial Library in Sag Harbor. From 2 to 3 p.m. kids will use rocks, plants, soil, and any other natural elements they want to add to make a tiny environment they can take home.

At the Montauk Library, those excited for Halloween may want to stop in on Tuesday for a zombie hand-casting workshop at 4 p.m. Participants will make plaster casts of their own hands that they can use as spooky decorations.

Halloween Comes Early

Halloween will come early to the Children’s Museum of the East End in Bridgehampton, which will celebrate with a costume party on Friday, Oct. 23, from 4 to 6 p.m. There will be treats, a costume contest, and crafts best for ages 6 and under, but the museum promises “plenty of fun for older goblins, too.”

The party costs $10 and is free for museum members. Advance registration has been suggested, as it often sells out.
