Kids Culture 10.23.14

Backpack Adventure

Most of the fun for kids this week is of the Halloween variety, but those looking for something else may find it at the South Fork Natural History Museum on Saturday, when Crystal Possehl leads kids 8 to 12 on a backpack adventure in the Vineyard Field behind the Bridgehampton museum. Kids will use binoculars, magnifiers, a compass, and other outdoor tools to observe and record their findings starting at 10 a.m. Reservations have been requested.

For Future Baby Sitters

Ask any parent of young children and they’ll tell you there’s always a need for a good baby sitter. Sixth through eighth graders can learn what it takes to become one during a three-hour workshop on Saturday at the East Hampton Library. The class, which starts at 1 p.m., will include hands-on activities, cover skills and responsibilities necessary for the job, and include a course certification. Kids 4 and older can decorate Halloween cupcakes at the library next Thursday from 4 to 5 p.m. Advance registration is required for both offerings.
