In the quirky, fun-filled state of New Hampshire, tucked away in the northeastern corner of our fabulous United States, the kids are just as spirited and vibrant as the stunningly splendid autumn foliage that blankets their land. Our story revolves around these little masters of creativity who delve into the mesmerizing world of Art & Crafts. These kids are not just ordinary kids – they are the magical elves of "Craftington," a name they've lovingly given to their state. Led by their whimsical leader, a jolly old leprechaun named Paddy Pallet, these kids paint, cut, paste, and create, transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary pieces of art. Paddy Pallet, with his rainbow-colored beard and paint-splattered overalls, guides these elves with a twinkle in his eye and a skip in his step. With a pot of glittering glue in one hand and a wand-like paintbrush in the other, Paddy makes each Art & Crafts session a spellbinding celebration. These Craftington kids are the champions of creativity, their imaginations as vast as the picturesque White Mountain ranges that grace their state. Each art project unfolds like one of their magnificent sunsets, bursting with colors, warmth, and heart. From creating kaleidoscopic dream catchers that mimic their star-studded night skies to crafting miniature replicas of the enchanting covered bridges that dot their landscape, these children are true artisans. They fill the air with laughter, giggles bouncing off the walls like pinballs. Their camaraderie is infectious, their joy palpable. Each child in New Hampshire, a Craftington elf, is a vibrant stroke on the canvas of their enchanted Art & Crafts world. These kids truly put the "Art" in "HeART" and the "Craft" in "Craftington." Now, isn't that a colorful tale of creativity and fun?

For fifty-four years, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has been a source of education and enlightenment for visitors of all ages. Not only does it feature spectacular live animal exhibits, natural science education programs, and guided Squam Lake Cruises, but also an informal public garden and even the Blue Heron School which is a nature-based Montessori early learning center. But in order to accommodate the recent pandemic restrictions, the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center has had to make some changes. Most recently, the Richard and Jean Lovett Raptor Exhibit opened with new enclosures, interactive exhibits, and interpretation about raptors. The live animal exhibit trail opened on May 1 with capacity limits, timed-entry tickets, outdoor retail operations, and increased cleaning in place. Despite the recent changes, the Science Center is still certified as Sensory Inclusive by KultureCity, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the beautiful natural world around them.
